On Going Programs & Activities

Education

The focus is on giving children the basic tools needed for a better school experience. 

Used equipment from schools, libraries and the community is donated and distributed where needed including books, tables, recycled office supplies, backpacks filled with school supplies all make for a better learning environment.

Empty Basket Program

Poor diet choices among Native Americans contribute to such deadly illnesses as diabetes, kidney failure, and tuberculosis.

Tens-of-thousands of pounds of food items are distributed through our warehouse.  Donated canned and boxes goods, as well as frozen meats, fruits and vegetable are sent to the poorest communities for distribution.

Medical

Small privately funded clinics hand little or no budget for updated equipment and supplies.  The infant mortality rate is three times higher than the national average, and diabetes, tuberculosis, high blood pressure and respiratory diseases are at epidemic proportions.

We collect and distribute new and unopened health products donated by hospitals, medical supply houses and individuals.

Building Supplies

Sub-standard housing exists due to little resources, skills, limited monies to repair tribal owned homes, schools and community buildings.

Individuals, retail stores and builders donate materials that help refurbish housing in need of repair.  We send teams of workers with tools to upgrade and repair existing homes.

Family Services

Unmet basic needs and mismanaged communities contribute to poverty, the shortest life expectancy, and the lowest per capita income ($4,500) in America.

Beds, hygiene, refrigerators and washers, furniture, appliances, linens and house wares are among the most requested items.
