Tea Area Cupboard
Thanks to the ongoing support of our community, the food pantry is growing to better serve individuals and families in need. Over the past year, it has become clear that our current location could no longer fully meet the needs of our patrons due to the overall growth and projected growth of our community. With the move we can provide more room, easier access, and an improved experience for everyone. We are moving to a new location.

Tea Community Food Distribution
We are sad to announce that Feeding SD has decided to discontinue the distribution in Tea as of July 2025. Budget adjustments at a federal level have resulted in permanent cuts to areas of The Emergency Assistance Food Program (TEFAP) with the potential for more cuts to come. TEFAP food is utilized in our mobile distributions, and Feeding SD is doing everything they can to effectively allocate their resources across the state. We sincerely thank all those that have volunteered their time, given monetary and food donations to this great food ministry. If you are in need of food assistance, you may visit the Tea Area Food Pantry at 335 W 1st St., Tea, SD 57064, it is open Tuesday and Thursdays from 2:00-5:00 pm or for a list of FeedingSD mobile distributions locations visit, www.feedingsouthdakota.org/mobile.
