On the Sunday before Christmas, the Lincoln County Community Center was the center of a busy afternoon for many residents\u00a0of Shoshone and surrounding communities. The Shoshone Project was hosting its\u00a0fourth annual\u00a0holiday food and clothing event. Families checked in and received two overflowing bags of food, including lots of food staples, fresh produce, a ham, delicious hot tamales, homemade cookies, and a holiday candle. All the kids received a present and the parents got to pick through a mountain of donated warm clothing.
\nThe Shoshone Project started with two friends, Candice Stark, who lives in Ketchum, and Julia Borrayo Draper, who lives in Jerome. During the first winter of COVID-19 in 2020, Candice asked Julia what was going on with families in her neighborhood and Julia went knocking on doors to find out. The answer: it was tough. Some people were sick. Most weren\u2019t working and families were struggling and needing help with rent, utilities and more.\u00a0Candice sent an email to friends in the Wood River Valley and many wanted to help. That first winter, about 15 families received Thanksgiving meals, Christmas presents, donated warm clothing and financial assistance with rent and utilities.
\nThis December was the fourth year of the Shoshone Project\u2019s holiday food and clothing drive, which has grown to over 140 families (over 400 individuals).
\nThe Shoshone Project\u2019s mission is \u201cConnecting Communities\u201d and that is what they are doing. Many organizations and individuals volunteered to make this event successful, including the Kiwanis Club of Hailey, Sun Valley Community School, Starbucks Ketchum, Silver Creek Outfitters, Atkinsons\u2019 Markets, ReMax Sun Valley, Mane Muse, The Mill, Bigwood Bakery, Chapter One Bookstore, Wood River Interfaith Council, Wood River Jewish Community, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church, and Light on the Mountains Center for Spiritual Living.
\nIf you are a family in need in Lincoln County or would like more information, contact Candice Stark at (650) 773-0124 or Julia Draper at\u00a0(208) 293-4731 (speaks Spanish).<\/p>\n

NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/strong>
\nEl domingo antes de Navidad, el Centro Comunitario del Condado de Lincoln fue el centro de una tarde ocupada para muchos residentes de Shoshone y las comunidades circundantes. El Proyecto Shoshone estaba organizando su cuarto evento anual de comida y ropa para las fiestas. Las familias se registraron y recibieron dos bolsas repletas de alimentos, que inclu\u00edan muchos alimentos b\u00e1sicos, productos frescos, un jam\u00f3n, deliciosos tamales calientes, galletas caseras y una vela navide\u00f1a. Todos los ni\u00f1os recibieron un regalo y los padres pudieron elegir entre una monta\u00f1a de ropa de abrigo donada.
\nEl Proyecto Shoshone comenz\u00f3 con dos amigas, Candice Stark, que vive en Ketchum, y Julia Borrayo Draper, que vive en Jerome. Durante el primer invierno de COVID-19 en 2020, Candice le pregunt\u00f3 a Julia qu\u00e9 estaba pasando con las familias de su vecindario y Julia fue a tocar puertas para averiguarlo. La respuesta: fue dif\u00edcil. Algunas personas estaban enfermas. La mayor\u00eda no estaba trabajando y las familias ten\u00edan dificultades y necesitaban ayuda con el alquiler, los servicios p\u00fablicos y m\u00e1s. Candice envi\u00f3 un correo electr\u00f3nico a amigos en Wood River Valley y muchos quer\u00edan ayudar. Ese primer invierno, unas 15 familias recibieron comidas de Acci\u00f3n de Gracias, regalos de Navidad, ropa abrigada donada y asistencia financiera para el alquiler y los servicios p\u00fablicos.
\nEste diciembre fue el cuarto a\u00f1o de la colecta de alimentos y ropa navide\u00f1a del Proyecto Shoshone, que ha crecido a m\u00e1s de 140 familias (m\u00e1s de 400 personas).
\nLa misi\u00f3n del Proyecto Shoshone es \u201cConectar comunidades\u201d y eso es lo que est\u00e1n haciendo. Muchas organizaciones e individuos se ofrecieron como voluntarios para que este evento fuera un \u00e9xito, incluido el Kiwanis Club de Hailey, Sun Valley Community School, Starbucks Ketchum, Silver Creek Outfitters, Atkinsons\u2019 Markets, ReMax Sun Valley, Mane Muse, The Mill, Bigwood Bakery y Chapter One Bookstore. , el Consejo Interreligioso de Wood River, la Comunidad Jud\u00eda de Wood River, la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los \u00daltimos D\u00edas, la Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de las Nieves y el Centro para la Vida Espiritual Light on the Mountains.
