Since the start of the pandemic in March, the Rapid City Rotary Club has donated over $15,000 to various community non-profits with the goal of fighting hunger. Local organizations receiving the funds include Rural America Initiatives, the Cornerstone Mission, Feeding South Dakota, and the Women’s and Children’s Shelter.
Dr. Ashok Kumar, President of the Rotary Club, said, “Food security is a need and basic human right. Rotary is committed to helping families in Rapid City who have been negatively impacted by the economic devastation caused by layoffs from the Covid-19 crisis.”
Participating in the ceremony were representatives of the Lakota Homes Board of Directors, Acting Chief of Police Don Hedrick, other representatives from the RCPD, and a City Council member, in addition to Rotarians.
