September is Hunger Action Month

September is Hunger Action Month

Feeding South Dakota is showing Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs on
Sunday, September 29th as part of this national movement.   
1:30 PM All AGES WELCOME
  

The event will feature a PSA created by Feeding America that connects the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs to the REAL issue of hunger. In South Dakota, 1 in every 8 individuals suffer from food insecurity, meaning they lack access to food on a regular basis. Even more staggering is 1 in every 5 children in South Dakota are at risk of going hungry.
This free movie event will provide an opportunity for the community to learn about the issue of hunger in a fun, family setting. The Orpheum Theatre is located downtown (315 N Phillips Ave).

Bring a Can to Take a Ride!
Scheels will give a token for their Ferris Wheel (opening May 2014) to anyone who donates a canned food item at the movie.
