American Indian Food Assistance Program Sponsored by the Museum of Indian Culture
Daily life can be unbearable when you and your family live in a run-down poorly insulated trailer, your food is being cooked on a hotplate, and the only running water is outside. The Museum of Indian Culture has located federally recognized American Indian families who live in these conditions right here in the Northeast.
Over the past 7 years, Three Sisters Harvest, the Museum of Indian Culture’s supplemental food assistance program, has been disbursing food to American Indian families living in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Currently there are more impoverished American Indians who not only need food assistance, but have a difficult time without it.
We are often asked how can we help. We accept non-perishable food items, Wal-Mart gift cards, and monetary donations. When considering a food donation, please refer to the list below. Since diabetes and heart disease is a growing problem among Native Americans, Wal-Mart gift cards are used to help purchase fresh meats, vegetables, and dairy products to those with special dietary needs. We also accept monetary donations for emergency heating, replenish non-perishable food supplies, and Wal-Mart gift cards, and baby formula.
If you have any questions, about the Three Sisters Harvest program, please contact Pat Rivera, executive director, at (610) 797-2121 or email info@museumofindianculture.org.
