The Oyate Teca Project youth center on Pine Ridge Reservation provides Lakota kids with clothing and accessories for their prom–items their families cannot afford to purchase for them–and they need help. Please take a look at their wishlist below and send what you can. Gently used items are very welcome for this drive and they need things for both the girls and boys. Whether you’ve got a necklace, bracelet, pair of heels, a men’s tie, belt, dress shoes or some clothes hangers, the OTP youth center would love to have them. If you’d like to purchase new items, these are linked to Target but feel free to use any vendor you wish.
Thanks so much for supporting the teens on this milestone occasion and please let me know what you are sending so I can keep track here! The prom is on April 26 so please get your donations to the youth center by April 20th.
