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!
