In this episode, Feeding South Dakota CEO Lori Dykstra talks about the future of hunger relief through a powerful shift in service: Community Led Distributions. While our Mobile Food Distribution Program has helped us reach communities across the state, we know long-term success means empowering local partners to lead the charge. Lori shares how Feeding South Dakota is strengthening relationships with existing programs to build sustainable, community-driven solutions — because the best way to fight hunger is together.

Ep. 23 Built by Community. A conversation with Brian Jans of Jans Corp.

Launched in honor of our 50th anniversary, 50 Faces of Feeding South Dakota is a storytelling podcast that shines a light on the people powering the fight against hunger across South Dakota — past, present, and future. From volunteers and food pantry leaders to longtime staff, community partners, and donors, each episode features a new voice making a difference. Through real stories and conversations, we explore what food insecurity looks like in our state and celebrate the compassion, collaboration, and commitment it takes to end hunger — one face at a time.
