Our staff will make sure the items are used appropriately and you will receive an acknowledgement of your donation. AIRC uses toys for both our Easter and Christmas programs. Many of the kids that get the toys get nothing else for these holidays. Parents are very pleased that they are able to celebrate Christmas with a stocking and a toy for their children. We could also use new Stuffed Animals , Crayons, and Coloring Books for these programs.
Disposable diapers are very expensive and eat into the family budget disproportionately.
We use disposable diapers primarily in our baby basket program on the Pine Ridge Reservations. We also need Wipes, Sleepers, Baby Wash, Baby Lotion , and Baby Shampoo . All of these items are in big demand with the parents of newborns. We have all sorts of incentive programs for school children to do well. In addition we give out supplies such as pens, pencils, paper, rulers, and folders for students who need them.
