    Love Had No Color is a volunteer organization that has worked for 12 years on the Fort Peck Native American Reservation in Northern Montana. The goal is to give hope and fight despair on this very poor and isolated Reservation that is plagued with high suicide rates of young people, high HS drop out rates, extraordinarily high unemployment rates, high levels of drug abuse and subsequent deaths. We raise money for food, clothing, school supplies, books. Building supplies are purchased and delivered in order to have the volunteers build residences, movie theaters/chiropractic clinics, basketball courts, hockey rinks.... We spend a number of days on the reservation every August providing care, food, music and fun/bonding time with children and families. A group of volunteers travel to the reservation in early December to distribute Christmas gifts, that the children would not normally receive, due to extreme poverty of their families, schools and communities.
