Last month, the Rapid City Council followed through with a pledge to establish a challenge fund up to $25,000 to match contributions to the Fed and Ready to Learn School Lunch Deficit Reduction Program.
The Council Challenge matches donations dollar for dollar up to $25,000 during the period of August 5 through November 30.
The Fed & Ready to Learn is a program managed through the Black Hills Area Community Foundation and supported by the Rapid City Public School Foundation.
For more information on the program, contact Krista Leischner, Student Nutrition Manager of the Rapid City Area Schools at 605-394-4061. To give to this fund, here is the link: https://bhacf.fcsuite.com/erp/
