RAPID CITY, S.D. — A simple meal will help make a meaningful impact later this month as Rapid City Public Works invites the community to take part in the Bowls of Hope soup supper fundraiser.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Dahl Arts Center. Community members are encouraged to attend, enjoy a variety of soups, and make a donation to support neighbors in need.

According to information shared by Rapid City Public Works, the fundraiser is designed to assist local residents who are struggling to pay their City utility bills. Proceeds from the event will go directly toward helping individuals and families facing financial hardship.

Those who attend will have the opportunity to donate in exchange for a meal, with each contribution helping provide relief for someone facing challenges with essential services.

City officials encourage residents to participate, emphasizing that even small acts of generosity can make a difference.
