A little girl in Potato Creek receives her Christmas box.

Each year, we have the honor of providing Christmas to over 5,000 children and teens on reservations in the north. What a blessing it is to provide some hope and joy in the midst of a very hopeless place.  Most importantly, we are privileged to be the presence of Christ at a time when we should be focused on the best gift of all – Jesus Christ.

We can’t provide Christmas on the Rez without you!  Here is how you can help:

1. Assemble and mail Christmas Dream Boxes for children. Download 2011 WAEM Christmas Boxes for all the details and the labels.

2. Donate money for Christmas presents. Click on the PayPal button on the right to donate online and just indicate it is for Christmas gifts.  Or you can mail a check made out to “WAEM” to the following address:

WAEM
P.O. Box 207
Caputa, SD 57725

3.  Volunteer. Every year we need volunteers to come to the Dream Center on Pine Ridge to help organize and distribute the Christmas gifts the week before Christmas.  Contact us at lori@waeministries.com if you are interested in volunteering or bringing a team.
