As we all know Thanksgiving is just a couple months away which means we need to start preparing now to get the funds together to purchase turkeys for the families on the Reservations. Many families have experienced the same cruel situation every year, sitting down at their table on Thanksgiving Day with no food to share but maybe some bread and water. I am afraid this will happen again this year unless you and other caring supporters of NAHA answer this urgent request to help purchase 1,500 turkeys to the families in need. For over 20 years we have purchased and delivered turkeys to the Reservations and made Thanksgiving happy for thousands of Sioux families in need. We want to continue this good deed but we need the help and support of our caring and generous donors like you.
It’s important that you respond both quickly and generously for two reasons:
- Even though NAHA purchases turkeys in bulk-allowing us to stretch our dollars much farther than an individual could at a grocery store- it still takes a large sum of money to buy 1,500 turkeys.
- Buying that many turkeys and getting them to the families in remote parts of the Reservations we serve takes several weeks.
Your urgent response is requested immediately. Please donate whatever you can manage, to help purchase turkeys and make Thanksgiving 2017 a Happy Thanksgiving for families that constantly struggle to keep food on their tables. We want to help as many families as we can so again, please donate today so we can get started on purchasing and delivering turkeys to the Reservations in South Dakota. From NAHA, we wish you and your family a joyous Thanksgiving Day!!!
How much are the turkeys? And how do you celebrate this day? Thank you.
I am not sure how much they cost per turkey because we get them at a bulk cost but it still is costly to purchase the quantity that we do. I am not sure how they celebrate, but I am sure they gather with family and friends and like to eat a nice hot meal. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
