‘…it makes a significant difference.’

Kerri DeGraff, development director at Feeding South Dakota, said the organization benefits from many different food drives but has come to rely on the biannual Artists Against Hunger event.

“Especially during the holiday season, these invents help to stock our pantry and that carries through to spring and summer,” she said. “We get a number of food drives and things that happen but having a group we know is going to do it biannually every year, for us it makes a significant difference.”
