SUPPORT OUR TOYS FOR TRIBES TOY DRIVE
Every year, Running Strong strives to bring Santa Claus to the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, in one of the poorest counties in the United States. For over a decade Running Strong for American Indian Youth® has been working with volunteers to give Cheyenne River's kids a special Christmas.
Each year the children write letters to Santa.
Running Strong works to see that each child receives a toy from their list. For many of these children, this is their only chance to receive anything for Christmas.

Help Running Strong honor the spirit of the first Thanksgiving!
We are going to be delivering over 15,000 turkeys to American Indian families in Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
These turkey dinners make sure that families struggling on the reservations can come together for a holiday meal.
Impoverished American Indian communities are taking a hard hit during these tough economic times, help us show these families they are not forgotten.
