“Let’s go… they’re hungry out there!”

“How many do you need, Jesse?”

“Six for now.”

Who is Jesse and who is he talking to?

Jesse Clairmont is a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe.
He’s talking to Mike Husman, the manager of Buche Foods
in Mission, SD. The food store is a reservation
program partner of National Relief Charities (NRC)
and their American Indian Relief Charities (AIRC)
program in Rapid City, SD.

So what do the three have in common?

They all help ensure that the AIRC Breakfast in
a Bag food gets to elders on the Rosebud Reservation
every month. But as Jesse knows, it doesn’t happen easily!
