Each Thanksgiving Season we host our Annual Holiday Meal Delivery, taking place every year in November. Due to your overwhelming support last year, Conscious Alliance was able to send teams to both the Northern Cheyenne and Pine Ridge Reservations to deliver a truck full of healthy food to each community. Collectively we distributed upwards of 10,000 meals to the reservations. We were fortunate to have our friends from Justin’s Nut Butter and Madison House Inc. join us on Pine Ridge Reservation to volunteer their time and help with the delivery. Last year’s delivery was sponsored by Cargill, who donated 1000 turkeys for families on the reservations; Lucky’s Market in Boulder, who donated all the bags used to distribute the meals; and Justin’s, who provided all-natural nut butter for every meal bag we delivered.

Many people are unaware of the conditions in these communities. On Pine Ridge, 97% of the population lives under the poverty level. The unemployment rate is consistently over 85%, due primarily to the extreme economic isolation of the reservation. Food insecurity is rampant.

The climate is extreme in this region of the country, with regular winter blizzards, and temperatures annually falling to -20° and lower.  In the winter, people make a very real choice between buying food and buying fuel for heating their home.

Conscious Alliance strives to alleviate the immediate need for the basic necessities of life, while simultaneously teaming up with community leaders to create possibilities for the future. As we provide food to the reservations, we are working with these leaders to inspire members of the community, with particular focus on positive youth outreach to empower the next generation.

Through your donations each Thanksgiving season, there is an incredible opportunity to help bring food to the most economically isolated communities in our nation during the cold winter months.
