Sicangu Lakota Winter Relief Fund (November–January)
Providing Warmth, Safety, and Dignity Through the Coldest Months
Each winter, the Sicangu Lakota communities on the Rosebud Reservation face harsh realities as temperatures drop far below freezing. From November through January, the need for essential support grows sharply. Families struggle to keep their homes warm, Elders go without adequate heat, and many households lack basic winter clothing or safe living conditions.
The Sicangu Lakota Winter Relief Fund raises money to deliver immediate, practical help where it is needed most. All contributions go directly toward:
Firewood & Heating Support – Supplying firewood, propane assistance, and emergency heat sources.
Home Repairs – Fixing broken windows, doors, roofs, and unsafe living conditions that worsen in the winter.
Warm Clothing – Providing coats, gloves, hats, boots, blankets, and other winter essentials.
Comfort & Care Items – Ensuring families have basic necessities, including bedding, hygiene supplies, and small items that bring warmth and stability.
Your generosity helps protect some of the most vulnerable community members, including Elders, Veterans, families with children, and those living in rural or isolated areas. Every donation directly strengthens our ability to prevent cold-related emergencies and ensure families stay safe throughout the winter.
Warmth is more than heat; it’s security, dignity, and hope.
Thank you for standing with the Sicangu Lakota this winter.
