Their Mission: Welcoming the community to gather and serve each other, feeding body and spirit.

The Banquet meal ministry was founded in 1985, starting with just one meal per week. We now serve 16 meals per week at two locations. The Banquet is a volunteer-based ministry, which means our meals are paid for, prepared by, and served by volunteer groups who come from Sioux Falls and the surrounding area.

In 2020 The Banquet served over 200,000 meals, and at least 25,000 of those meals were served to children under 12. The Banquet goes through approximately 15,000 gallons of milk each year.

Our Confirmation class will be serving at The Banquet on October 28th. If you would be interested in serving, please contact a pastor.

Your gifts will be used to support the meal that we are serving.

Their Mission: Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota expresses the love of Christ for all people through service that inspires hope, changes lives and builds community.

Vision: All people have the opportunity to live and work in community with full and abundant lives.

Our work is grounded in two principles – God loves all people without condition and God yearns for us to love the neighbor. These principles call us to help assure that:

Children and families will have safe, stable homes and the opportunity to thrive in community.

People with identified needs will have access to social services and the opportunity to contribute to community life.

Older adults will have choice in the services they need and opportunities to participate in community life.
