January Update
Happy 2025 from everyone at Re-Member! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and wish you all the best as we enter the new year.
We are back to work and are looking forward to all 2025 has to offer after another incredible year in 2024. I encourage you to take a moment to look back at all that was accomplished over the last year.
The new year has brought with it a serious cold spell here on Pine Ridge and across much of the country. Temperatures are consistently falling into the single digits overnight and several inches of snow have coated the prairie in a blanket of white. Roads are icy and snow packed. Strong winds create drifts of snow that can make it difficult for families to reach their homes.
Our team is hustling to support community members with firewood during this difficult stretch of weather. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we will also continue to support families with seasonal utility payments to help keep homes warm.

As another year begins at Re-Member it is impossible to not think back and reflect. We have come so far. We owe that growth to all the people who have supported us, walked through our doors as volunteers, worked on staff and, of course, to the community members who have guided and informed our direction. We will continue to be beneficial as asked, and as we are able. Working hard to build a better today – and tomorrow – alongside the Oglala Lakota people here on Pine Ridge.
