Mission
Conscious Alliance supports communities in crisis through hunger relief and youth empowerment
About
Conscious Alliances strategy of engaging the live music scene, renowned poster artists, the natural food industry, and other nonprofits creates a strong and dynamic collaborative that contributes thousands of meals to food banks across the nation and to our friends on Pine Ridge. In 2017 Conscious Alliance collected and distributed 290,514 meals.Our signature program takes place at concerts and festivals nationwide. Concert attendees donate hundreds of pounds of food and vital operating funds in exchange for a collectable concert poster. Through this program, we support over 25 food banks across the country, raise awareness about hunger, and provide exciting opportunities for music fans to give back.Since 2002 families in need on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation have received emergency food relief through Conscious Alliance. Currently, an average of 50 families receive a bag of food every week from our pantry. Additionally, our Bring Nutrition Home Backpack program provides weekend nourishment every Friday to all 250 students at Isna Wica Owayawa (Loneman School) on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. This is one of the nations first all-natural backpack programs, and it serves a school where 100% of the students are on Free or Reduced Lunch.Through our school and home garden programs, students and families are provided with the tools, knowledge, and experience needed to grow their own food. These programs teach the importance of sustainability and eating fresh produce.In our drum workshop, students in 4th-8th grade make a Lakota hand drum from scratch while also learning the Lakota language and traditions of the drum. This program enhances youths pride in their heritage and builds skills for their future.
