For American Indian children that suffer the effects of poverty everyday, simple items like new toys or clothes are often an unaffordable luxury. Running Strong sees these children handle the reality of their lives with grace and humility. Especially at the holidays, Running Strong believes these children should know they are not forgotten. Running Strong tries to provide special days for American Indian children and their families through holiday meals, new backpacks of school supplies, and toy drives. |

|
These celebrations support traditional Native American culture, through programs such as youth adopting elders and making them special gifts, and bring joy to families through toy drives, screenings of family films, healthy meals, and more.
