In January 2021, Dale Larson donated $30 million to Feeding America. The funds were distributed to several Feeding America food banks, including Food Bank of Iowa, which serve communities where Larson Manufacturing has factories. Food Bank of Iowa serves one such community in Lake Mills, located in Winnebago County. Now, Food Bank of Iowa is utilizing the funds to get staff back on the road to complete essential work. This week, due to Dale Larson generosity, Food Bank of Iowa took possession of three 2021 Hyundai Kona vehicles. These small SUVs will allow Food Bank of Iowa employees to safely, efficiently and cost-effectively support the success of food pantries, schools and meal sites who feed Iowa neighbors in need.

Scott and Julia Jones of Pierre and Dale Larson of Brookings have challenged the Boys and Girls Club of the Capital Area in Pierre to raise $500,000 for a $1.5 million match to the Club’s fund held with the South Dakota Community Foundation.
