Senior Boxes
Financial Stability Pillar
Brookings Area United Way seeks to identify and address root causes as an effective means of tackling issues and transforming communities. Today, community issues stemming from personal, economic and environmental factors are growing increasingly complex and more difficult. More and more, hard-working individuals and families are unable to get ahead financially. We look at ways for Brookings County to become financially literate and financially stable through partnerships with businesses and nonprofits, access to basic needs, employment readiness, and independent and secure living.

Senior Boxes
Feeding South Dakota is proud to partner with the South Dakota Department of Education to administer the USDA's Commodity Supplemental Nutrition Program (CSFP), most commonly known as the Senior Box Program, in all 66 counties. Eligible seniors receive a pre-packaged box of non-perishable food items each month that is specifically designed to supplement nutrients typically lacking in their diets.
This program is available for Brookings County residents & currently serves around 55 individuals.
