Standing Rock Seniors Receive Donations From The Mission & Service Team Members, The Quilters, and The Dorcas Needlework Group

Much needed items were donated by the Mission & Service Team Members to go to 6 men, 11 women and 10 children through the Senior Program Tse’ii Ahi’ (Standing Rock) about 13 miles from Crown Point. This included basics such as thermal shirts, underwear, socks, undershirts, tights/leggings, sweat shirts, and sweat pants for adults, and underwear, socks, pants, socks and gloves for children. The Quilters provided 15 beautiful quilts and 9 knitted stocking caps and 12 neck scarves were donated by The Dorcas Needlework Group.

There are no stores in this area, just a Chapter House and small Day School. Their Senior Center was closed due to an unsuitable building. Daily take out meals are served to seniors who make it to the Chapter House. A driver delivers meals to homebound seniors. If or when the Senior Center will reopen is unknown. At this time, one daily meal is the only service this program can provide.
