Brighten a Child's Day - Give Them a Stocking
Santa handing out stockings is sure to bring a smile to a child's face. With your help, we can deliver hundreds of stockings filled with items like gloves, band-aids, toys, art supplies, treats and candy.* We know that this stocking may be the only gift a child receives, so we take special care in filling it items they will like. (* items may vary)

Bring a Community Together for a Holiday Meal
Many families who cannot afford to have special meals at home during the holidays are able to attend one of the community meals we sponsor. We provide the food. Community volunteers prepare, serve and clean up after the meal. The food includes items like turkey or ham, potatoes, cranberry sauce, baked beans, corn, and pie. * Our staff enjoy attending these meals to experience the strong sense of community and holiday spirit that is always present. (* items may vary)

Give a Baby Basket for a Strong Beginning
What a great gift for a new Native American mother and her baby as they start this new journey together! This wonderful baby basket gives them a strong foundation to begin their new lives. The items are stored in a baby bathtub and often include shampoo, baby wash, diaper cream, diapers, wipes, two sleepers, one handmade blanket, bottles and a toy.* Mothers are relieved to receive these items when their baby arrives, since many items are difficult to acquire on the reservation. (* Items may vary.)

Give the Gift of Heat
Many of the Elders we serve in the Northern Plains use wood as their source of heat in the winter - and even some summer nights. It is difficult for Elders to haul their own wood or to afford to purchase it from a vendor. It gets extremely cold and windy on the Plains in the winter. Temperatures drop below freezing frequently. The winter winds can be brutal, blowing up to 60 miles an hour regularly, making the temperatures feel even colder. Because many of the homes are in poor repair, heating costs are higher. It takes more to heat a drafty house. Combined with winter boxes, Elders can be more comfortable through frigid winters.

Keep an Elder Warm with a Winter Box
Winter can be brutal on Northern Plains' reservations. To help Elders and families prepare for severe cold weather, we provide winter readiness boxes. Each box contains blankets, scarves, gloves, candles, flashlight, batteries, ice melt and non-perishable food.* With this gift, they will be ready. (* Items may vary.)
