 American and environmental non profit association. The blanket, toy and 
 school supplies drive is our annual charitable event.  This year we have 
 “adopted” the community of Swift Bird on the Cheyenne River reservation 
 in South Dakota, in addition to the communities/groups we support each 
 year.  Our goal is to provide each of the residents of Swift Bird (just 
 over 100) with a new blanket, and for each of the children, a toy.  These 
 will be shipped via Fed Ex.  In addition, we will send blankets and soft 
 toys to the White Plume family in Manderson, South Dakota to distribute 
 among their community, shipped via U.S. Mail. We will donate all hard, 
 heavy, boxed toys and school supplies to Walking Shield, a southern 
 California based non profit agency whose distribution network \nspans 
 reservations across the United States.\nWHAT WE NEED:\nNEW*, lightweight, 
 washable blankets (fleece or flannel are the least expensive and 
 warmest)\nNEW* toys for kids from toddler to late teen (items that do not 
 require electricity or batteries are best)\nNEW* school supplies; pencils, 
 pens, chalk, crayons, notebooks, backpacks, etc.\nNEW* cold weather 
 accessories (mittens, gloves, beanies, scarves, heavy socks)\nDONATIONS to 
 offset the cost of shipping\n*Due to the cost of shipping, we can only send 
 new items via Fed Ex or USPS.  Like-new items can be donated locally.  You 
 are welcome to join us whether or not you are able to make a 
 donation.\nLOCAL DROP OFF LOCATION OCTOBER 20 - DECEMBER 6 for those who
