Telephone:

Sherry Cornelius of St. Francis Energy Co.
at  6 0 5 - 7 4 7 - 2 5 4 2
11 AM - 6 PM MST

Ask for Sherry or her mom Patsy. Normally a minimum order is $150, but they have an account to accumulate small donations to a minimum order. Credit Cards welcome and they are the only Native owned fuel company on Rosebud.  Rosebud is next to Pine Ridge Reservation and in the same economically depressed condition.

If you'd like to mail a check:

Attn: Sherry Cornelius
St. Francis Energy Co. / Valandra's II
P.O. Box 140
St. Francis, South Dakota 57572

[make check payable to: St. Francis Energy Co.]

Telephone:
The Lakota Plains Propane Company

at  6 0 5 - 8 6 7 - 5 1 9 9

Ask for Crystal to contribute to someone from Autumn's list. $120 minimum delivery. This company serves Pine Ridge Reservation.

NOT tax deductible

Another way you can help:  The LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Home Assistance) Tribal programs ran out of winter funding in early December last year. You will need to write a check because of no online presence for any tribe.

There is a very long national list of LIHEAP Tribal Grantees here.  You might consider a tribe in your own state. Here is South Dakota and North Dakota.

I'm focusing on the three below because we have Kossacks and their relatives there.
