Staff report
Donation boxes for the Warm a Neighbor 2018 program are set up at Divine Treasures in Brandon, all seven HyVee stores in Sioux Falls, and three Coffea locations in Sioux Falls through the month of January. Submitted photo.
The Presentation Sisters have once again teamed up with Life 96.5 and HyVee in Sioux Falls to provide gloves, mittens, hats and scarves to people served at Caminando Juntos. New partners this year are all three Coffea locations in Sioux Falls, and Divine Treasures Boutique in Brandon.
Caminando Juntos is Spanish for “walking together,” and is also the name of the Presentation Sisters’ ministry among the Hispanic people in the Sioux Falls area. Their primary purpose is to help create a welcoming presence and respond to the needs of the Latino immigrants as they integrate into this culture.
It has been found that many of the Hispanic people, who relocate to Sioux Falls, are not prepared for the harsh winter climate and do not have warm gloves, mittens, hats or scarves to wear.
Throughout the entire month of January, the partners are working together to provide cold women and children who visit the ministry center for assistance.
Donations of brand new warm gloves, mittens, hats, or scarves in sizes for men, women, boys, girls, or infants may be brought to any of the seven HyVee locations in Sioux Falls, three Coffea locations, and Divine Treasures Boutique in Brandon.
