Building Connections

A grant from the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation was designed to help give kids from Laura B. Anderson Elementary the chance to participate in a fall soccer league. It did that — and so much more. While the kids played, families built meaningful connections on the sidelines and today, the Riverside neighborhood is stronger than ever.
