Call To Action
"Day
of Dignity" Project - September 20
On Saturday September 20th, AAI members are
invited to join CAN-DO
at Crow Creek to participate in a "Day of Dignity"
project, a humanitarian effort at Crow Creek Indian
Reservation, Fort Thompson, South Dakota. The event is being held to
help relieve the Crow Creek Sioux tribal community as well as
others in dire need in the area, in hopes of bringing some
relief from the hardships that these people endure. In
August, CAN-DO was in Oakville, Iowa, distributing supplies that
were donated from various places. Fresh Produce, a boutique
clothes line, donated boxes and boxes of brand new clothes, Airline
Ambassadors partnered with CAN-DO supplying CAN-DO with
numerous supplies to help the people of Oakville. After
the day of distribution there were many boxes of clothes left
over. CAN-DO with the encouragement from the people of Oakville,
brought the remaining clothes to the people of Crow creek. The
people in Oakville, suffering themselves, reached out and gave aid
to others in tremendously difficult circumstances. CAN-DO
loaded the trucks and headed to South Dakota.
