On Dec. 19, volunteers from the OIMC delivered snow boots, snow pants, underwear and school supplies for children living on the Yankton Sioux reservation in South Dakota.
The reservation has experience flooding rains and a series of extreme weather events over the past year. The Rev. David Wilson met with tribal leaders and discovered many people are living in deplorable and hazardous conditions.
“We are grateful for our many local churches, partners and allies who have made donations to help with the immediate needs of the Yankton Sioux.”
He says the crisis on the Yankton Sioux reservation is not getting any media coverage and no help from federal agencies.
Donations can be made online by visiting www.umc-oimc.org/online or mailed to the OIMC office at 602 SW 35th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73109.
