The Community Outreach is a small, ecumenical non-profit based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with a history spanning more than 30 years. The organization operates as a local ministry that fills gaps left by public welfare programs by providing direct assistance and personal engagement with individuals in need. It serves more than 8,000 people annually through four primary activities: crisis-related financial aid for rent, utilities, and work-related transportation; information and referral services acting as a hub for social services; a Genesis Mentoring Program that emphasizes financial management skills through adult mentorship; and Hezekiah House, which focuses on financial education and home ownership skills in partnership with clients. The Community Outreach relies on support from churches, the United Way, businesses, and private donations to sustain its work and maintain visibility within the community. In recent years, the organization has pursued partnerships and staff growth, including a notable development role addition, and it continues to position itself within the non-profit sector as a local resource for crisis assistance, referral services, mentoring, and financial education.
