New organization to help those impacted by COVID-19 launches in Sioux Falls

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - A new organization that aims to help those most affected by the coronavirus pandemic is launching in Sioux Falls.

Helping Hands Sioux Falls is a free volunteer delivery service that helps elderly and at-risk individuals.

The program, announced on Wednesday, is an initiative launched by Conscious Youth Solutions, a worldwide network of young people who work together to solve local, regional, and global challenges. The Los Angeles-based Shaper Hands organization is also a partner in the program.

Helping Hand Sioux Falls is working with the community to mobilize a group of volunteers to bring groceries and supplies to older adults. While the organization focuses mostly on the elderly and immunocompromised, it is available to help anyone in need.
