Our story
The Good Heart Community Center started in 1998 with a dream to love the children of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation at Christmas time with a traditional gift of candy bags. The vision has since grown into a safe place for people to come together and resource the community.
A building was needed to carry out the dream: having a space for the children and community to be together and get what they need. In 2002, we asked the local district to purchase an older building that once was The Big Foot Bar. We were able to redeem the space, turning a negative into something positive for the community.
Since 2002, the Good Heart Community Center has offered a consistent presence in a culture of change. Good Heart is the hub for community meetings, holiday celebrations, and educational programs. Our thrift store provides clothing, furniture, and household goods for all ages.
An advocate for the elderly and those in need of assistance, we work together with local service organizations connecting critical services with those most vulnerable.
Many issues face the Standing Rock community, and we are here to enter in. Currently mental/emotional health, drug use, alcoholism, absent fathers, poverty, and the loss of cultural identity are major issues we see around us.
The Good Heart Community Center is working hard to empower and bring together the Standing Rock community.
