Many of the organizations we support can use new and/or very gently used bedding and linens. If you do send gently used things, please ensure they are usable. Do not send anything stained, torn, or threadbare. Most beds are twin size or doubles.
Sleeping bags and cots are very useful for those who have no beds. Many families on Pine Ridge have some family members, if not all, sleeping on floors for lack of beds.
Purchase these items locally and ship them yourself or order online and have them shipped directly to the reservation.
Here are some suggested items that can be used and organizations that need them:
- Afghans
- Twin bed frames
- Twin mattresses
- Bath mats
- Bath towels
- Blankets
- Comforters
- Cots
- Hand towels
- Kitchen towels
- Mattress pads — twin, full, queen
- Pillow cases — standard
- Pillows (washable) — standard
- Quilts, all sizes
- Sheets, flat and fitted, twin, full, queen
- Sleeping bags for those with no beds
- Washcloths
