Add joy to a child's holiday and experience for yourself the feelings of the true spirit of Christmas. 800 boxes are on their way to Pine Ridge. We still need 300 Christmas gifts for children of all ages.

What is the Gift Box Program?

The Christmas Gift Box Program sends gift boxes to children on the Pine Ridge Reservation, the present-day home of the Lakota Sioux Indians in southwest South Dakota, near the Nebraska border. For many children in most years, this will be the ONLY Christmas gift they get!! We are taught to have compassionate hearts and to give of ourselves for those in need and those who suffer. And the American Indians on the Pine Ridge, and other reservations, are among the poorest and most underprivileged people in our big country.

What does it take to work with the Gift Box Program?

It just takes a desire to help, and you can work with us as an individual or as a group. Of course, a group can be more fun working together, and can gather more gift boxes. There is no formal commitment and no fees; just you and us working together. You get to do your own gift box activity, but we will always be there to help and to answer questions. And we at ONE Spirit will coordinate the timing and the delivery of the gift boxes.

If you can’t send gift boxes, please send a donation

If you want to support the Gift Box effort but don’t want to send gift boxes, you can send a donation. A check for $25 will give a Christmas gift (a nice box of gifts and shipping) to one child on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Of course, larger checks will give Christmas gifts to more children.

Make out your check to ONE / ONE Spirit, write "Gift Box Program" in the memo line, and send it to:
