Delivery Day at The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe
On November 6, The Learning Council along with some friends at Uproot, drove down to the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation in Towoac, CO to deliver an abundance of donations provided by the local community right here in Paonia! Among the donations were fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms, breads and sweet treats, homemade canned items like tomatillo salsa, grape juice, and a generous donation of 100 gallons of apple cider from Big B’s Delicious Orchards, as well as clothes, toiletries and pet food.
We had a great time talking and getting to know the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe community, especially the kids who took a quick field trip to visit us. One of the teachers shared with us about their food and nutrition program where each week kids could see, taste, touch and learn recipes with new fruits or vegetables. They were able to grab a couple unique foods like Hakurei turnips donated by Horton Nash and red Anjou Pears donated by Excelsior Orchards.
TLC is incredibly appreciative of all those who donated and came to help out including Uproot, Western Slope Native American Resource Center (WSNARC), Ute Mountain Ute Recreation Center, and good friends Ellza, Tara, Alison, and Jeff, as well as all the generous people who donated food, money, and supplies for the trip. We look forward to doing this again next year and hope to reach more reservations each year!
