WINTER HEATING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

During the cold, windy prairie winters — when temperatures can drop below zero for days at a time — many families on the Pine Ridge Reservation struggle to keep their homes heated.

Each winter, we cut, split, and deliver hundreds of truckloads of firewood to homes across the reservation and provide emergency electric assistance and propane assistance, paid directly to utility companies.

Learn more about the program benefits for the 2026-27 winter season.

Our trucks regularly travel more than 15,000 miles each winter in the process of completing several hundred firewood deliveries to all corners of the Pine Ridge Reservation.

We also assist hundreds of households with direct supplemental payments for utilities (propane, home heating oil, and electric service).

Your tax-deductible donation will provide families and elders with firewood through the winter, along with emergency propane and electric utility assistance.

100% of donations received via this page will be allocated to our winter heating assistance program.
