Lending a helping hand to our neighbors on Pine Ridge Reservation

A 2025 Christmas Drive for Lakota Children at FFN

 

Every year we support Pine Ridge Reservation with Christmas gifts for the Lakota children via the 501(c)(3) First Families Now. I have to start my Christmas drives in September in order to get all 1,000+ gifts for Native elders and children on several different reservations donated by early December.  Please take a look at their wishlist below and send what you can!
