In the center of the mall, in the Community Room (upstairs from the main parking lot, with street access including public transportation behind the center – look for the giant Christmas tree)
How It Works:
New blankets and soft toys – new, hand or machine washable blankets are sent to the Porcupine District of South Dakota, directly to a respected family in the community who redistributes them to those in need; and individuals in other locations as funding for shipping permits.
New hard or boxed toys – distributed to the non profit organization Walking Shield which has a nation-wide reservation distribution network, and other local agencies/families.
New school supplies – donated to Walking Shield for distribution to reservation schoolchildren.
Financial Contributions – very much needed to ship items to South Dakota via USPS or FedEx. Shipping costs run $600.00 to $800.00 and come entirely from donations.
Gently Used Blankets and Warm Clothing Items – gently used warm clothing items and blankets will be distributed locally (in the high desert regions) to needy and homeless individuals and families, regardless of ethnicity or other factors.
