Support a Lakota Family in Need This Month


A Lakota student in our community was recently hospitalized. To care for her son during the hospitalization, his single mother had to take unpaid time off from work. Because of this unexpected loss of income, she is now struggling to cover her remaining rent for October. We are asking for your support to help bridge this gap.

Lakota family needs assistance with electric bill


A Lakota family is headed by a single mother of three children who works hard to provide for her family without any additional financial support. Despite maintaining employment and meeting her family's ongoing needs, she is experiencing a temporary financial hardship and is struggling to pay her Duke Energy bill.
Assistance is requested to help cover a portion of her outstanding electric bill and prevent disruption of service. Maintaining electricity is essential for the health, safety, and well-being of the family. This support would help ensure the family can remain stable in their home while the mother continues working and providing for her children.
Any assistance toward the family's Duke Energy bill would help alleviate an immediate financial burden and prevent the loss of a critical household utility. You can also make a monetary donation by clicking the link below. Thank you for your kindness.

Help Us Stock a Snack Pantry for Lakota Students



We’re hoping to bring a little extra support to the youngest members of our Lakota community by creating a snack pantry for children who may need a little extra help with daily snacks.

For some children, having access to a nutritious snack during the school day can make a big difference. We want to make sure that every child has the opportunity to have something to eat when they are hungry.

We would love donations of healthy, kid-friendly, easy-to-eat, shelf-stable snacks that teachers and staff can make available to students who need them.
  • Granola bars
  • Individual packages of crackers
  • Applesauce or fruit pouches
  • Raisins or other dried fruit
  • Pretzels
  • Goldfish or similar crackers
Thank you so much!  You can also make a monetary donation by clicking the link below. Thank you for your kindness.
