Post-Burning Man FOOD DRIVE: Help Pyramid Lake Charities

Post by kitten_sf » Tue Aug 16, 2011 4:43 pm

On your way home from the Burn, Donate your leftover non-perishable camp food to local Paiute tribal charities helping foster children & victims of domestic violence.

As you drive through the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation, Look for Comfort & Joy's bright Day-Glo flags decorating Taco Stands in Nixon & Wadsworth to easily find drop-off points for Food Donations... and amazing fresh Tacos.

FLAG/FOOD DRIVE DROPOFF LOCATIONS: Find the Flags!

(1) Nixon: Bunny's Tacos
Serving Frybread / Veggie Tacos
Downtown Nixon - Approx 60 miles south of Gerlach
(Also be sure to visit the Tribal Mueseum in Nixon)

(2) Wadsworth: Elaine's Stop
Serving Indian Tacos / Frybread / Taco Salad
1 Mile North of I-80, Exit 447

Be sure to support the tribe by buying gas & stopping for a Taco - they're delicious!

You can also donate unwanted Bikes to tribal charities at these licensed food vendors. All food + bike donations are collected directly by tribal members & benefit local people in need. The Tribe is very welcoming to Burning Man and very hospitable to travelers. Don't just drive through, stop to enjoy up some fresh hot food... and support the tribe by filling up your car's gas tank.

This is such a great idea. From your experience, what has been the overall feedback from the locals on the BM community?
