"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.
