2015 Collection for Native Americans

Laura Freeman passed along this update on the blanket drive:

We drove up to Presque Isle on Saturday (Halloween) and met with the Micmac's on Sunday. We delivered a total of 79 quilts, 50 blankets, 13 afghans, 48 fleece throws, several bags of knitted items for adult and children and two bags of baby clothes. Those were the new items. Then we had 17 bags of used blankets and several bags of used baby clothes, children's clothes and children's shoes. We only had $5.00 in cash donations. We will have to work on that. They are in desperate need of fuel assistance.

We will begin collecting again in April of 2016. In the meantime we will be working on a contact for another reservation in Maine. We are trying to stick with the request that we keep it local. We delivered everything ourselves, but we still have free shipping available to us if we go further away.

The first picture is of Wolf and the coordinator, Kandi, at the reservation community building unloading our truck. The second picture is Kandi with her husband and son who also helped us unload. Those three people will be controlling the distribution of goods. The third picture is of the front door of their community building.

Kandi has promised us many pictures of people receiving their gifts. We stressed the need for pictures. After two failures we are keeping our fingers crossed.
