10 Broadcaster Press April 5, 2016 www.broadcasteronline.com Feeding South Dakota to Benefit from Walmart’s “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” Campaign This week, Walmart launched its “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” campaign, a nationwide initiative calling on the public to take action in the fight against hunger. The Feeding America nationwide network of 200 food banks, of which Feeding South Dakota is a member, stands to benefit from up to $3 million in potential Walmart donations based on public participation in the “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” campaign. By combining Walmart’s donation with supplier donations through product purchases and customer donations at the register, the campaign has a goal of helping to secure 75 million meals for the Feeding America network. The campaign runs through April 25. With the USDA reporting that one in seven people in America struggle with hunger, the “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” campaign comes at a critical time. Here in South Dakota, one in eight people may not know where they will find their next meal. “We appreciate Walmart’s ongoing commitment to fighting hunger and are thrilled that Walmart is asking the public to get involved and make a difference in their local communities through the ‘Fight Hunger. Spark Change.’ campaign,” said Matt Gassen, CEO of Feeding South Dakota. “In partnership with the Feeding America network, this campaign will significantly boost our collective ability to raise awareness about the issue of hunger in America, allowing us to secure more local funds and, ultimately provide food to more people in need in South Dakota We hope people across the state will take action and join us in fighting hunger by participating in the campaign.” To raise awareness and help provide meals to those in need, Walmart and five of its national suppliers –– Campbell Soup Company, General Mills, Kellogg Company, the Kraft Heinz Company and PepsiCo – are calling on the public to take action in-store and online to generate support for the Feeding America network. “This campaign is a great example of our long-standing commitment to hunger relief and dedication to ensuring every family has access to affordable, nutritious and sustainably grown food,” said Kathleen McLaughlin, president of the Walmart Foundation and chief sustainability officer for Walmart. “Successful partnerships are the key to making a positive impact on the issue of hunger in the U.S. and we’re proud to once again be working with Feeding America, the nation’s leading organization dedicated to fighting hunger, and food banks across the country like Feeding South Dakota. Together with Feeding America, its member food banks and our suppliers and customers, we can make a real difference for those currently struggling with hunger.” From March 28 to April 25, there are three easy ways to Fight Hunger and Spark Change in South Dakota: Buy Participating Products: Purchase participating products in Walmart stores to help provide meals for local families who struggle with hunger. For every participating product purchased at Walmart between March 28 and April 25, 2016, the manufacturer will donate $0.09 to Feeding America enough to secure one meal on behalf of local food banks - up to each manufacturer’s maximum donation, which is provided on the participating packages. See packages or Walmart.com/fighthunger for details. Online Acts of Support: Generate donations for Feeding America food banks by using #FightHunger on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, sharing and liking campaign posts on Facebook, showing support on Walmart.com/fighthunger and using campaign Snapchat filters in select stores. For the first time, Twitter has developed a custom emoji for the “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” campaign. When users Tweet using the hashtag #FightHunger, the custom emoji will appear after the hashtag. For each online act of support, Walmart will donate an amount to help secure 10 meals (an equivalent of $0.90) on behalf of Feeding America member food banks, up to $1.5 million. To kickoff the campaign, Walmart will make an initial donation of $1.5 million to Feeding America with the goal of reaching a total donation of $3 million based on the public’s social engagement. Donate at the Register: Donate to a local Feeding America member food bank at the register during checkout. This is Walmart’s 10th year partnering with Feeding America nationally to fight hunger and the 3rd annual “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” campaign. Last year, Feeding South Dakota benefited from over $48,000 from Walmart’s campaign to fight hunger. Walmart continues to be a leader in the hunger-relief efforts across the state both in terms of providing nearly 1 million pounds of food annually as well as providing significant monetary support.

South Dakota Retailers Association Selected As Pilot Site For Department Of Labor Disability Inclusion Pilot PIERRE – The (SDRA) is one of three membership associations in the nation selected to participate in a national pilot program designed to increase workplace inclusion of people with disabilities. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), "Getting Down to Business: A Pilot to Strengthen Small Business Through Disability Inclusion" is providing the groups with customized assistance to help them increase the capacity of their members to recruit and retain qualified people with disabilities. As a pilot site, SDRA will work this year with an ODEPfunded technical assistance team to implement strategies to help their member businesses create more disability-inclusive workplaces. SDRA is in the process of launching an advisory group that will work on several projects, including developing plans for an internship or job shadowing program matching youth with disabilities with employers. Over the next six months, the group will also present workshops and webinars for employers, and will develop materials to help guide South Dakota employers through the process of finding and hiring employees who have disabilities. Pilot activities will help to promote a variety of outreach efforts throughout Veterans Town Hall Meeting RAPID CITY – The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) will be hosting a Veterans Town Hall Meeting Friday, April 15, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. at the DAV Department of South Dakota Convention at The Rushmore Hotel & Suites, 445 Mt.

Invitations have been sent to Congressional Delegation Staff of South Dakota, VA Medical Center Chief Operating Officers, VA Staff, VISN 23 Director, and Secretary of the South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs. There will be questions and answers concerning the VA budget, health care funding, medical healthcare, veterans benefits, veterans legislation, veterans employment and preference, claims processing, agent orange, post-traumatic stress disorder, treating traumatic brain injuries (TBI), Persian Gulf Syndrome, nursing home care, and other information for our veterans and their families. the state during National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October. “We believe everyone benefits when individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to successfully compete for good jobs,” said Shawn Lyons, Executive Director of SDRA. “This pilot project is helping us put the framework in place to connect our members with employees who have disabilities, and to provide ongoing education and resources for employers.” The South Dakota Division of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) is working closely with SDRA on the pilot project. “With SDRA being selected as one of three business associations nationwide to be part of this pilot study, it’s another accomplishment our state is making towards the goal of increasing employment opportunities for South Dakotans with disabilities,” said DRS Business Specialist Kim Hoberg. “The collaboration and partnership that DRS and SDRA share is immensely appreciated and we look forward to future partnership endeavors.” The two other sites selected for participation in the pilot are the Entrepreneurs Organization of DC and the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce.
