A Thanksgiving Meals Drive for Lakota Families

 

Here’s the annual Thanksgiving meals drive for First Families Now! Alice’s goal is to feed 100 families but if we end up going over her goal she’ll be able to provide even more families with a turkey and fixings. Please take a look at her GoFundMe here and send what you can. $60 will cover one family but your donation in any amount will help get them to goal by mid November so they can order the food. Thanks so much for your continued support of Lakota families in need served by First Families Now.

If you’d like to shop online and ship nonperishable foods for the holiday, please let me know  and I’ll keep track of those items here for FFN. Thanks for your kindness and generosity!

Aaron Huey's effort to photograph poverty in America led him to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, where the struggle of the native Lakota people — appalling, and largely ignored — compelled him to refocus. Five years of work later, his haunting photos intertwine with a shocking history lesson.
