In Appalachia, we provide holiday meals, winter clothes, new shoes, and other necessary items to poverty-stricken families.
On American Indian reservations, we work to help provide basic necessities on various reservations in Oklahoma, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico and North Dakota by contributing food, new clothing, school supplies and other items.
