Opportunity to help Habitat for Humanity
“One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:24-25
Sicangu Tikaga Okiciyapi – Habitat for Humanity welcomes the participants of the 137th Niobrara Convocation to the Rosebud Indian Reservation and Mission, South Dakota!
During your long weekend in the area, please help us with our mission to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.
The winters are long and cold in our neck of the woods, so the importance of the summer construction season can’t be overstated. We rely on volunteers to construct the homes in which our partner families will reside. Without you, their dreams of homeownership cannot be fulfilled.
So, how can you help? During your stay in Mission, roll up your sleeves and help a local family construct their new home. Absolutely no experience is necessary and every bit of assistance helps!
OR maybe you’re looking for a way to keep active during your trip? The inaugural Racin’ on the Rosebud 5K/1 Mile Race & Walk will take place Saturday June 27 at the Prairie Hills Golf Course, just two miles south of Mission. Pre-register and you’re guaranteed a t-shirt – and a good time!
The 1 Mile begins at 9:00 a.m. sharp, while the 5K and the walkers start at 9:30 a.m. Through June 13, the entry fee is $10 for those 17 and under, or 55 and over. Otherwise, the fee is $20. Please add $5 after June 13.
For more information about either helping out at a work site or running in the race, please call Habitat at (605) 856-2665 or e-mail habitatforhumanity@gwtc.net.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in June!
