With
the help of our many generous donors, NAHA continues to make
great strides and accomplishments throughout the year. NAHA
experienced several challenges with the constant increases
in fuel and heating costs, as well as, prices in general rising.
However, NAHA was able to rise above the price increases and
continue our various programs for the needy Native American
men, women and children, all made possible by our kind and
generous donors.
Our Food Distribution program exceeded 2.8 million pounds
of food that was distributed to the Rosebud, Pine Ridge, Crow
Creek and Lower Brule Reservations in South Dakota. This food
helped many elderly and infirm Native Americans make it through
the last 5-7 days of the month.
Our Clothing Program continues to grow each year. Through
the many donations from our donors, NAHA was able to distribute
259,388 pounds of clothing in 2006. This is a blessing to
the many Native Americans that struggle to make ends meet
each month. Thank you to everyone who sent their “gently used”
items to us.
Many thanks, to all of our donors who supplies “Santa” with
the many toys that we received at Christmas. The joy that
the toys provided to the Native American children warmed our
hearts and we wanted to share this with you. The letter below
is from Wayne Boyd, Vice President of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe.
Below
are pictures of food boxes that are prepared and sent to the
reservations and clothing that help many Native Americans
survive the daily hardships of reservation life.
