We think you have a right to know exactly how your money was spent!

2007
Our warm clothing drive ran all the way through January and we were able to provide everything we had been asked for. Below is what we purchased from stores and distributors. Besides what we listed below:

You All sent an additional 60 boxes of coats to Pine Ridge and 40 to Cheyenne River, with assorted other items being received in Rosebud!

BRAND NEW Clothing, shoes and boots were also sent, as were toys, hats, scarves, gloves and mittens. From the bottom of our s, we are so grateful for your participation, without which hundreds of children would have spent a much colder winter.

Many of you sent financial donations. Below is how we spent those donations that we received. This is only what was spent in 2007. We continued to receive donations into January and February of 2008, and those donations and purchases will appear in the 2008 listing. Thank you so much for all that you accomplished!! Please contact us for a copy of our 990ez.
