Community Involvement
Local Giving Programs
PIPESTONE team members are committed to supporting the communities we live in.
Hunger
Hunger is a primary focus for PIPESTONE charity support. Children and adults face hunger issues in
communities across the country. In 2022, PIPESTONE provided $220,000+ to support organizations
focused on supporting hunger. A few examples include:
Local Food Banks and Backpack Programs
In 2022, PIPESTONE donated $40,000 to local food banks and backpack programs in communities near
our clinic locations. The local backpack program provides kids and their families with backpacks of easyto-prepare food for the weekends.
Feeding South Dakota
Feeding South Dakota is the state’s largest hunger relief
organization, serving all 66 counties in South Dakota. PIPESTONE
donated 27,000 pork tenderloin, distributed primarily through 120
Mobile Food Distributions held in 98 communities across the state.
The pork tenderloins complement other food items to be distributed
by Feeding South Dakota such as potatoes and gravy, stuffing, corn,
cranberry sauce, and yams, that contribute to preparing a holiday
meal.
“As families face the pressures of rising costs, we wanted
those facing hunger in our state to have one less worry over
the holidays,” said PIPESTONE CEO Dr. Luke Minion. “We’re
thankful we can support the work that Feeding South Dakota
does by providing nutritional protein to those facing hunger.”
GiVE
PIPESTONE started a charitable giving program
called, GiVE, in 2021. The GiVE program
allows for team members to get a team
together, identify a need they care about in the
community, and GiVE.
