Mayor Paul TenHaken explains in the Facebook Live video that he needs the community's help.

"I have been thinking about the holidays and Christmas and I would love your help in blessing someone this Christmas holiday. Here's what I want to do: I would love for the comments on this video to get filled up with stories of amazing people in this community who are doing awesome things who maybe no one knows about."

This member of the community can be anyone who has had a difficult year like a teacher, a nurse, members of the healthcare community, or first responders. It can be any one individual or an entire group of people. Simply put: Mayor Paul TenHaken wants to treat this person or group of people to lunch to thank them for being part of Sioux Falls and even gift them with a Sioux Falls prize package.

The gesture seems so small, but a little can really go a long way to make someone's day brighter. The video is posted on Mayor Paul TenHaken's Facebook page. Here are the rules:
