Helping the Indian Nations and those in need.
About hundred years ago in Kilbourne, IL love was in the air. When Theodore Knocknus and Iline Cave announced their intention to marry, the girlfriends of Iline rallied together to create a wedding quilt for their marriage bed.
Three Feathers Outreach is very honored to be gifted this beautiful heirloom quilt to be raffled off at their Spring Gathering on May 4th and 5th. Be sure to get your raffle tickets at the event held at the UAW Hall, 3025 Springfield Rd, East Peoria, IL. The drawing will be held on Sunday, May 5th. See you there!

We still have openings for vendors as well, please message us if you’re interested in setting up a table! Comedy Show Tickets One of our major goals at Three Feathers Outreach is to keep the wheels turning on our semis. 3FO at the beginning of 2024 was proud to announce the addition of a reefer truck to our fleet. Fuel is always a need to keep these trucks rolling. It is through 100% of your kindness and your donations that keeps trucks on the road delivering goods to the folks on the reservations.
Since 2023, 3FO has set up tables in various locations, to get the word out about our organization and to showcase the need of the people on the reservations.
From the beginning of April-October we were at the Peoria, IL Drum Circle in Tower Park located off Prospect Rd in Peoria Heights, IL the second Friday of each month. We set up tables in Roseville, IL during their 175th birthday celebration. One could also find us in East Peoria, IL at the Eastside Center. January 2024, we started the year off by setting up a table at the Bald Eagle Days in Rock Island, IL. We so enjoyed meeting a whole group of new friends. Three Feathers Outreach helped to play Santa, thanks to Deb Warfield for sewing over 100 Christmas stockings and everyone at the church in Mapleton, IL who helped fill them.
We made sure that 75 shoe boxes filled with Easter candy and toys made their way from East Peoria, IL to Eagle Rock in Peru, IL (the first leg of their trip). They later were loaded onto our semi and taken to the children of Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
