Pastor Jeff Hayes of Faith Temple Church in Sioux Falls says thousands of people are being fed each month thanks to the church's weekly food giveaways.

"We might have 300 to 400 people at the weekly food giveaways. But, they take the boxes home and they feed another three to four people. Over the course of a whole month there are typically about four to five thousand people that are fed."

Pastor Hays says another food giveaway takes place on Friday.

"We going to start at 4:00 PM this afternoon in the Nordstrom Johnson Building at the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds. Right now we are expecting probably 10 to 14 thousand pounds of food to give away."

So far, over five million pounds of food have been distributed to those in need since the weekly Faith Temple Food Giveaways began.
