A little information about what happens to items you donate:
"The truck we are currently loading will be going to the Bodaway-Gap area located at the western boundary of the Navajo Nation in the northern part of Arizona.
The Dine' name for Bodaway-Gap is "Ndbaa'wheeyee'," which means "no water area". About 20,000 people live in this area. Only 24% of the houses in the area are habitable, almost 60% do not have electricity, and the majority do not have access to potable running water. The need is great for the most basic of items. Children are bussed 50 miles to school in Page. They take a shower twice a week at school and the meal they receive is a big help to them and their families. In testimony before Congress, Nelson Gorman, Jr., Speaker of the Navajo Nation Council, likened the area to “the deplorable conditions approximating those found only in underdeveloped third world countries.”
