It doesn’t matter what the weather is outside, when you need a roof over your head, suddenly getting inside takes precedence over everything else. Because, let’s be honest, KELOLAND has more wind, snow, rain and heat than most places.

Madeline Shields is the executive director of Bishop Dudley Hospitality House in Sioux Falls.
