Two Mission Projects have been chosen for the UWF of North Texas in 2023. Both missions do very important work and could use our help. Choose the kind of mission support that works best for you / your group:
1) collect items for Good Neighbor Settlement House in Brownsville, TX, or
2) send financial support to Missing, Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG).
Bring your collected items or checks to Conference events scheduled on 4/22, 5/20, Mission u in mid-July, District Annual meetings in September, and the Conference District meeting in October. Or contact Mission Coordinator, Joyce at 214-794-5573

Missing, Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG)
NTC UWF will be partnering with the Dallas MMIWG organization and indigenous advocate, Jodi Voice Yellowfish, to help reduce the abuse and suffering of indigenous women. Our monetary gift(s) will be used to bring justice to the victims of these cases and end this brutality.
Statistics show:
Most of us don't know much about the issue of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women. These movies, documentaries and videos can help you understand the issues.
