Wanblee, SD May 5, 2020 Pine Ridge Reservation May 5th 2020 is South Dakota Gives Day to aid non-profit organizations dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic. Lakota Friends Circle needs $3,000 to replace the engine in the truck that Jerome High Horse drives from Wanblee, SD to Denver, CO once or twice a month to pick up food donated by the non-profit We Don’t Waste. 150 families receive nutritious food each time he makes the trip. Volunteers sort the food and deliver to those who have no way to come to the distribution site. Lakota Friends Circle pays for the gas and helps with truck repairs. If you can donate to help get this truck on the road it would be really useful. Food is always needed on the reservation but especially now with the pandemic, as basic items have increased in price, if they are available at all. We Don’t Waste has food ready for pickup as soon we can get the truck on the road. Donations can be made at https://www.southdakotagives.org/lakota-friends-circle We really appreciate any help as we know that many of you are struggling as well at this time. |
