Review for St. Joseph's Indian School, Chamberlain, SD, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I don't know how they got my name on their mailing list. But the amount of "free" stuff they send in their packages through the mail must cost a lot to produce. I'm sure it is more than would be covered by the amount I could afford to give. I am in favor of supporting any charity that helps native Americans and their children, but I have my doubts about this one. I hope that by not donating for the past two years they will remove me from their mailings.

Our main focus at the school is to provide a warm loving home, an education and medical needs for over 200 Lakota boys and girls in our care. In order to do this, a series of mailings are sent to people throughout the US asking for their support. Our school is located in a rural area in Chamberlain, South Dakota. We don’t receive regular, ongoing federal support nor do we receive large donations from huge corporations. Instead, we rely on caring individuals from across the country to support our work through tax-deductible donations, one gift at a time. Our work is life changing and we want to share with as many people as possible about the programs for the Lakota children in our care. We are certainly able to remove our donor's from our mailing list as they request. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you are still reviving our mailings and wish not to. Our contact info is 800-341-2235 Mon-Fri 8am to 5pm Central Time, Or you can email us @ Saintjosephs@stjo.org.
