Lending a helping hand to our neighbors on Pine Ridge Reservation

A Valentine’s Day Drive for Lakota Kids

 

This school on Pine Ridge Reservation can use help with Valentine’s Day supplies for the Lakota kids! Please take a look at the wishlist below and send them what you can. This school had a budget cut of 24% this year so they can really use a helping hand. Please let me know what you can donate, so I can update the tally here.  These items are linked to Oriental Trading but you can use any vendor for like items. Not listed, but they can use plenty of Valentine’s Day cards too!

Thanks so much for your continued kindness and generosity.
