Downtown Sioux Falls needs your help in supporting the homeless community this holiday season. Downtown Gives through their Give Real Change initiative addresses homelessness in Sioux Falls.

Starting Friday, November 6, 2015 through Tuesday, December 1, 2015, consider making a financial contribution to make a REAL difference by easing the burden of homelessness. Your contribution will help provide clothing, food, household goods, support services for employment, health and housing.

You can make a donation online or by mailing a check to the Downtown Sioux Falls office c/o Give Real Change at 230 S. Phillips Ave., Suite 102, Sioux Falls, SD 57104.  Checks can be written to the Sioux Empire Homeless Coalition.

Your donation goes a long way. A $20 donation helps with basic necessities such as toilet paper and soap as part of a welcoming package for families who come to a shelter. $100 provides for a month's worth of laundry for guests using the shelter.
