Enrich Groton SoDak Inc. – 2025 Year in Review

Enrich Groton SoDak Inc. had a meaningful and busy year in 2025, made possible by the incredible support of our volunteers, donors, and community partners. Here are a few highlights:
• Supporting Seniors: Volunteers partnered with Feeding SD to help seniors sign up for Senior Nutrition Boxes, then received the boxes and distributed them throughout the community. The Pantry - Groton, SD
• Student Learning: GHS FACS classes visited Common Cents Community Thrift Store - Groton, SD to practice real-world resource management.
• Community Giving: We participated in local events, donated to the FEZtival of Trees, and decorated a Giving Tree at City Hall/Wage Memorial Library to collect gifts for families.
• Holiday Help: Volunteers organized food deliveries for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
• Empowering Youth & New Residents: We awarded a scholarship, shared Kindness Kash and Back-to-School Cash, and welcomed new residents with Welcome Cash to use at Common Cents.
• Advocacy & Fundraising: We recognized Hunger Action Day/Month and sold reusable bags to support our mission.
• Essential Supplies: School supply and winter gear drives helped ensure families had what they needed.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited to continue expanding our efforts, building partnerships, and enriching the Groton SD Community. With your ongoing support, we’ll keep making a positive difference!

Received this photo from a customer and wanted to share it with everyone — what a great idea to sort through your children’s toys before Christmas and donate them to Common Cents Community Thrift Store - Groton, SD, or to our Giving Tree at City Hall, so other families can purchase them as gifts for their own children this holiday season.
