Community Assistance Program

The South Dakota Community Assistance Program consists of Community Action Programs that provide services to low-income South Dakotans. Services vary by agency and may include weatherization, community transportation, food pantries and emergency services.

Four Community Action Programs are located throughout the state in Rapid City, Sisseton, Madison and Lake Andes. These private, nonprofit agencies are funded by Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) dollars.

The Western South Dakota Community Action Program is the only Community Action Program working with the commodity program. The program's purpose is to make a positive impact upon the causes and effects of poverty. It supplies those living in poverty with the resources and assistance necessary to help them overcome these conditions.
