Food Pantry and Distribution Center


 
 
 
“In Crow culture, the center pole gives strength, guidance and it’s where you go for help.  It connects you to heaven, to a bada di, the creator.”

-Peggy White Wellknown Buffalo,

In partnership with Running Strong for American Indian Youth and Christian Relief Services, the Center Pole provides a surplus of food, new coats and shoes, and household items to children, elders and families in need.
