Our Programs
Throughout the year, One Nation Walking Together facilitates a variety of programs and services which collectively aim to advance our mission of making a positive difference in the lives of Native Americans. Working with community leaders and agency heads, our paradigm of service remains entirely community-centered. Each shipment of donations coordinated and sent by One Nation, is uniquely designed to meet the specific set of needs expressed by the community it is intended for. We do not enter any spaces where our services have not been requested, nor do we require any communities we partner with to provide any form of compensation whatsoever for the donations we send. All costs associated with the shipments we send and services we provide, are borne by the organization alone, and thus we rely upon the generosity of our fiscal sponsors, donors, and supporters at large in order to both advance our mission and sustain all of its programming. Learn more about the different programs and services we offer below:
Food Assistance
Thanks to the kindhearted generosity of our donors, thousands of pounds of non-perishable food are donated, collected, and distributed to our Native brothers and sisters throughout the year. Helping to alleviate hunger is a priority for One Nation Walking Together.
Medical
One Nation Walking Together collects and distributes wheelchairs, crutches, canes, walkers, adult diapers, blood pressure cuffs, and shower chairs.
Family Aid
Beds, hygiene products, diapers (all sizes), formula, space heaters, furniture, appliances, linens and towels, bedding, housewares, baby items, Christmas gifts, and tools are among the essential items we accept as donations to provide a hand-up to Native families and individuals. Planned shipments leave ONWT every four to six weeks. Each shipment is tailored to meet the specific needs and requests of the communities with which we have partnered.
Emergency Services
One Nation Walking Together’s Emergency Services Program helps low-income to no-income Native American families and individuals who are in crisis situations in the Pikes Peak Region. Services may include resource information, referrals, aid for the unhoused, and other services to fit their specific situation.
