We know our economy here in Sioux Falls continues to buzz along, and that our city's businesses continue to grow. Sioux Falls shows up on "best-of" lists all the time. But just as in any other expanding community, there is a segment of the population who aren't as fortunate.

The Bishop Dudley Hospitality House is here to answer the need for daytime and emergency overnight shelter for the homeless and vulnerable in Sioux Falls. Over 600 people, at any given time in Sioux Falls, are without a permanent home, and the Bishop Dudley House offers a safe, warm place to begin exploring a path to a more secure future.

Since its doors opened in January of 2015, BDHH has been a haven for the homeless in Sioux Falls. They offer safe shelter to individuals and families, warm meals, access to phones and computers, showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. Most importantly, the guests are treated with dignity and respect.

To raise funds to continue this mission, the awesome "Taste the Goodness" is being presented once again, for the 11th year, by the Catholic Community Foundation for Eastern South Dakota. Saturday, August 2, from 5 to 9 PM on Second Avenue at 212 E. 11th Street, adjacent to the Kirby Dog Park downtown, is where the action will be!

You will find a wide array of foods, non-alcoholic beverages, games, music, and activities. Of course, they will also have a fantastic selection of craft beers, wines, and bourbon.
