It's been a tough time for individuals and families across the Sioux Empire who rely on federal assistance programs, including SNAP benefits. Even though the longest Government Shutdown in history has ended, The Banquet and The National Wild Turkey Federation want to ensure people have a meal for Thanksgiving.

In partnership with The National Wild Turkey Federation, The Banquet will receive 70 turkeys on Wednesday, November 19th. Executive Director of The Banquet in Sioux Falls, Tamera Jerke-Liesinger, says in a press release that no one deserves to go hungry, especially during the holiday season.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with the National Wild Turkey Federation to ensure that meals get to those in need. Hunger doesn’t take holidays, and this generous gift helps our guests celebrate this time of year with a bit more dignity.”

Tamera Jerke-Liesinger also mentions moments like this remind us what the word "community" really means
