If you would like to help the grandparents and many children , come see us in the above groups.    We do many other projects to help the folks and the grandchildren of this very poor community. 

Come in and sponsor an elder friend and her/his family.  You will be glad you gave them some of the things we use and take for granted each day!  Help the Senior Center and Ashley’s Closet provide for the many without warm clothing or a hot meal.

If you prefer to make for babies, we are also including the Healthy Start and the reservation hospitals.                           

Pictures do not show the snow and very cold conditions that they live in.  Imagine having to sleep in that car or inside that tent because the house is already too full for another person to sleep in.  Winter wear and blankets are the only thing that keeps the family warm in the winter months.  Heating fuel is  unaffordable by many families.

Daily needs consist of non perishable lentils and foods, spices are rarely found, and many toiletries are hard to afford.  Clothing is always needed for the children that quickly grow out of them.  School supplies are scarce and are always welcomed.
