Team Buche Cares

We are incredibly grateful to Service First FCU and Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines for selecting us for this generous grant!

Team Buche Cares strengthens rural and tribal communities by addressing hunger, providing help in times of need, and investing in education. Programs like our Mobile Hunger Hero, which delivers food directly to communities across South Dakota, ensure that families have access to the support they need. This generous grant will help us continue expanding that impact and serving communities throughout our state.

Team Buche Cares was chosen to receive a $17,500 Member Impact Fund grant! As a member of Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, we are proud to have supported Team Buche Cares to combat hunger, offer scholarships, and back local community projects across several communities right here in South Dakota!

Supporting our communities is what we are all about. ❤️

We’re proud to donate a commercial freezer to help launch the new Martin Area Food Pantry, giving them the ability to safely store frozen foods and expand the types of donations they can provide to local families.

When communities come together, great things happen.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗕𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲.

For over 120 years, the Buche family has had the privilege of serving communities across South Dakota. What started as a small family grocery business has grown, but one thing has never changed — our responsibility to the people who support us.

RF Buche, President of G.F. Buche Co. and founder of Team Buche Cares, has always said, “If you’re in this business, it’s your moral obligation to make sure no family goes hungry.” That belief isn’t just something we say, it’s something we live.

Team Buche Cares was created as the nonprofit arm of the G.F. Buche Company to put action behind that belief. Through food distributions, emergency assistance, health support, and Underdog Scholarships, we are committed to strengthening the rural and tribal communities we call home.

These towns — from Pine Ridge and Mission to Wagner, Lake Andes, Mobridge and beyond — aren’t just store locations. They’re our neighbors. Our friends. Our extended family.

Showing up in moments like this distribution is where our mission becomes real. It’s about being present, sharing what we can, standing alongside our communities in times of need.

We are grateful for the opportunity to serve, in our stores and beyond.
