Package bags containing six meals worth of ingredients, box them up and get them ready  to be sent to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.  Pine Ridge is one of the most impoverished areas in our country.  Located on 11,000 square miles in southwestern South Dakota, roughly 97% of the population lives below the Federal Poverty line.  Unemployment ranges from 85% to 95%. The average life expectancy is less than 50 years old.  More than half of their homes are considered substandard.  Alcoholism, diabetes, heart disease, suicide, and infant mortality are all well above the national averages. Some information found states the poverty in Pine Ridge rivals that of third world countries.
