Feed a Family Program

Introducing the Native American Heritage Preservation Fund  

           September 2012 RIEOSO created "The Native American Heritage Preservation Fund".   

              This fund has been created to help preserve the Native American Indian Heritage within the Southeast region and all of Ohio.    Items have been collected in order to display the unique  Native American culture and its transition thru the centuries.   They tell a story of the history of the Indigenous Native Peoples of  how they lived and thrived in the early years and through out the 1900's to the present.   Tribal Family members have donated articles from their ancestors in order to share the unique history with Ohio and the world.    

              RIEOSO has display these items at events in 2013, 2014, 2015 and has traveled to schools or public discourses, explaining the history and cultural of this unique and diverse peoples of the Native American in Ohio.     RIEOSO plans to create a Cultural Heritage Museum to put these items on permanent display for all the community to visit and see in the upcoming years.     

             If you would like to donate items contact us via fax or postal letter and send in a picture of the items you wish to donate, with your name and phone number and best time to contact you.  If you are donating funds to support the project, you may send funds to the any of the Post Box mailing addresses noted on our Contact Page (please do not send cash) you may send money orders or a check payable to RIEOSO.   RIEOSO is a Non-profit 501c3 and excepts charitable donation to assist in "Researching for a Brighter Tomorrow" in the educational purposes of the Community.
