Food Deliveries

The food donations we collect benefit Feeding America Food Bank affiliates (www.feedingamerica.org), independent food banks, and Native American Reservations across the United States. Reservations we work with include:

Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota
Rosebud Reservation, South Dakota
Crow Creek Reservation, South Dakota
Lower Brule Reservation, South Dakota
Fort Peck Reservation, Montana
Cheyenne River Reservation, Montana
Hopi Reservation, Arizona
Pueblo Nambre Reservation, New Mexico
Dine (Navajo) Reservation, Arizona & New Mexico
Houma Reservation, Louisiana

The primary communities we currently serve are the Pine Ridge and Lame Deer Reservations, where we deliver large supplies of donated and purchased foods and personal supplies. In 2005 we constructed an emergency food storage facility on Pine Ridge Reservation. This facility provides us the capacity to operate an Emergency Food Relief effort that is overseen by a community of elders and medicine men. The program is designed to provide relief to hundreds of families during times of crisis and at the end of the month, when many families have exceeded their budgets and cannot afford to purchase food. The emergency food storage facility on Pine Ridge is one of our primary ongoing projects, and our goal is to keep this facility permanently stocked with food at all times.
