Here’s how you can support our Lakota veterans by donating via check or money order to the Homeless Veterans Shelter serving those in need on Pine Ridge Reservation. This fundraiser will help purchase new furnishings for a 12-bed facility that provides safe, dignified housing for veterans who have honorably served our country. Your contribution will directly improve comfort and stability with furniture, a desk, book shelves and essential living items creating a welcoming space where veterans can heal and rebuild. Please consider a donation to help furnish this vital shelter and honor the service of our Lakota veterans.
This is one of the rare times I do a monetary fundraiser instead of linking to the individual items they need. This will allow them drive to Rapid City to choose specific items and arrange for delivery from a local furniture store to the reservation.
If you can help with a small or large donation, please send a check or money order to the address below.
Also, please let me know what you are sending so I can keep track of our progress here. Thanks so much for supporting the Lakota veterans everyone!
