Other Trips

Christmas on the rez

Each December, a small group of volunteers head up north to help with community Christmas dinners and any other way we can. This is a short, face-paced trip. If you are a self-motivator and can be flexible to roll with changes, this might be a trip for you.

Spring Trips

In the spring, HFtFN leads a group of university students to do work on the reservation. If your youth group or school group is interested in putting a trip together during spring break or another time, contact us to coordinate. There's always work to be done.

Pine Point Powwow

August means Powwow in Pine Point! If you are interested in going up on a short trip to experience Powwow, please contact us. We don't always have a project to do, but if we have a crew, we will find something to work on!

come with us!

One of the most important parts of our mission is to form relationships. Real relationships. We do this, not by going somewhere once never to return again, but we return over and over until they know our names and we know theirs.

Come with us. Serve with us. Love with us. This is the gospel we preach.
