Video: Child poverty rate in South Dakota

In efforts to decrease the poverty rate in South Dakota, the organization Voices for Children has launched a new website called Bridge to Benefits.

South Dakota has the second highest poverty rate in the upper mid-west. Voices for Children hopes to change that through the new website. At Bridge to Benefits, parents can find public support programs and tax benefits.

From this video from KOTA, reporter Makenzi Henderson talked to Voices for Children about the website.
