NAGI CIRCLE
(Nah-Gee / Spirit)

Food insecurity in Native communities is widespread with government subsidized food programs only going so far. The Tipi Raisers provides regular distributions of food, firewood and supplies and field ongoing calls from Native families and tribal leaders to assist with urgent needs such as provisions of warmth, appliances, mattresses, funeral support and more. 

The Nagi Circle is a vast network of volunteers and supporters who are eager to help us answer the call! If you would like to be a part of our Nagi Circle, please SIGN UP  and we will reach out to you when new Calls to Action emerge! 

And don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the page for more volunteer opportunities at Tipi Raisers!

Call to Action:

​We are currently collecting the FOLLOWING ITEMS to keep food boxes going out to families experiencing food insecurity in Native communities:

More Volunteer Opportunities: 

Drivers Needed

Most of the material donations come in from our network in Colorado and oftentimes there are more donations than one truckload can manage to take to the communities we serve in South Dakota and Arizona. At these times we will put a call out for help with transporting the donations.

Other times we will need drivers to pick up items that have been donated locally - in the Denver metro area. So whether you wish to help out locally, or are up for a road trip, there is something for everyone!
add me to the driver list!

Event Support

From Gen7 Youth Summits to various community building events in Colorado, we invite volunteers to join us and sign up to assist with any of the following:
​
  • Providing a meal/s
  • Shopping for event needs
  • Setting up prior to the event
  • Cleaning up after the event
If you are interested in this, please reach out to Mackenzie to discuss current opportunities.

Help with the Horse Herd

The feeding, training, relationship building, clean up, pasture and shed maintenance, etc. require significant work and
financial commitments. Come be a part of our horse program and gain an understanding of how the horses fit into our community and purpose. Click HERE for more information and reach out to Dave if you would like to get involved.

Solicit Needed Material Donations

Oftentimes, there are requests from Tribal members for specific items such as appliances, car parts, mattresses, etc. and we would value your help in locating these items. Or in anticipation of a cold winter/ hot summer, volunteers can reach out to vendors of space heaters/window air conditioners, etc. to obtain a large quantity of these items. 

And we are ALWAYS in need of items such as coffee, diapers, baby formula, female hygiene products and toilet paper!

​If you are interested in helping but aren't local or simply wish to help from the comfort of your home, please consider helping us to acquire needed items. Contacting wholesalers or retailers and approaching their charitable contributions departments can often open up a windfall of needed donations!

If you are interested in this, please reach out to Mackenzie to discuss current opportunities.

Host a Food and Supply Drive

If you are in the Colorado front range area and wish to host a food and supply drive, please reach out and let us know!  We can provide you with collection barrels, flyers and electronic communications to make your drive a success!  These drives are great for individual families, schools or organizations!

​Please contact us for more information!
