Celebrate Christmas with the Children of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe!

This year, Community-Based Learning is teaming up with the Center for American Indian Studies at JCCC to coordinate a Christmas drive for the children of the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.  We are currently seeking new, unopened gifts for children of all ages.  A Wish List can be found on Amazon and is also listed below.

We are accepting unwrapped gifts through Tuesday, December 3rd.  Gifts purchased through Amazon can be shipped directly to the Center for American Indian Studies (12345 College Boulevard box 36, Overland Park KS, 66210).  If you would like to hand deliver your gift, you can do so by dropping it off at the Center for American Indian Studies (CC223) or the Community-Based Learning Office on Campus (COM 201).

We are planning to deliver the gifts the weekend of December 6th – December 8th, weather permitting.  If weather is an issue, as it can be that time of year in South Dakota, we will deliver the gifts the following weekend, December 13th – December 15th.

Questions can be directed to the Center for American Indian Studies at cais@jccc.edu or (913) 469-8500, x. 2919.
