SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) Sioux Falls Thrive is closing its operations. The organization has been focused on food security, affordable housing and out-of-school enrichment programs. Thrive’s ‘Eat Well Sioux Falls Mobile Market’ closed in June. Thrive President Michelle Erpenbach says the Eat Well Market lost grant funds, and couldn’t find enough donor funds to fill the gap. The Eat Well Market’s vehicles are now delivering food on reservations, where food is desperately needed.  Other Thrive programs have also flourished as they were picked up by other groups.
