FEED HOPE. GROW SOVEREIGNTY.
Food insecurity remains a critical challenge on Pine Ridge,exacerbated by potential disruptions to federal food assistance programs. Many families are struggling to access essentials.
Over 60% of households do not have enough food to last for 10 days,
while 20% have food for only 3-5 days.
Through our Demonstration Farm, we’re providing affordable eggs and expanding local food production to make nutritious food accessible for all.
