About Us

Friends of Turtle Island, Inc. is a 501 (c) not-forprofit

organization working to help children. All

members of Friends of Turtle Island, Inc. are

volunteers. 100% of all donations go to helping

children.

As Santa's helpers we collect “New” toys and take

to Turtle Mountain Reservation to place under the

tree on Christmas morning. Volunteers drive the

1800-mile round trip to deliver donated toys to

volunteers that live on the Turtle Mountain

reservation and work with families in need all year

round.

Friends of Turtle Island, along with other

volunteers have worked to put smiles on the face

of children for over 28 years. When the children

receive toys, they are receiving something they

would otherwise do without. Friends of Turtle

Island believes every child deserves a toy they can

call their own. By giving toys to the children, we are helping parents, grandparents and guardians too. They can concentrate more on heat, food, clothing and other basic needs, and not be burdened with whether they can afford Christmas for the children.
