"No matter how good services are, no matter how well-managed big organizations are, there are gonna be cracks for people to fall through," Board Member Elizabeth Hanson said. "Owen's Outfitters is one of those entities that is there to catch those people that fall through the cracks."

The organization has given away more than $1.4 million worth of medical supplies since opening in 2022.

Introducing the 2025 A Little Help beneficiary: Owen's Outfitters.

Sioux Falls Simplified readers raised more than $5,000 for local nonprofit Journey of Hope during the month of June as part of the inaugural 'A Little Help' give-back campaign.

"The true gift from Journey of Hope is one of dignity and support in a time of need."

It's not about being "good" at art or completing a project to get a good grade, said Lisa Brunick, a longtime art teacher and licensed art therapist who leads the art session. It's about feeling your feelings.

Journey of Hope will connect hundreds of Sioux Falls kids from low-income families with free and accessible hygiene products.

Last year, Journey of Hope distributed 18,000 hygiene products and partnered with 33 agencies in Sioux Falls – including 11 schools.
