United Methodist Meals
Each Sunday evening, a small group from one of the Sioux Falls UM churches prepares and serves a simple meal to
people who might otherwise go hungry. (The Banquet is not open on Sundays). Please contact Tracy Johnson or Al Herrboldt if your small group would like to serve. You can help with the cost of the meals by writing UM Meals on your check.
