👀Have you heard? We will be hosting an OBSN Friends and Family Day on August 29, 2026. Come out to the OBSN Tribal Center to meet some new faces and see familiar ones! Name a better way to spend a summer Saturday than with good people, free food, and a whole lot of fun! We will have a scavenger hunt, OBSN history/language BINGO, relay races, door prizes and so much more. Stay tuned for the schedule announcement and call for volunteers.

If you or your organization are interested in donating towards this event please email: [email protected].

This event will be picnic style so, bring a blanket big enough for you and your family! We can’t wait to have you 😄

ATTENTION ALL OBSN TRIBAL MEMBERS

Project Nourish is an initiative created and organized by Gianni Lacey-Howard (Occaneechi-Saponi) in partnership with the Center for Native American Youth (Aspen Institute). This Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 11am-1pm Project Nourish will be hosting a community food distribution to support OBSN tribal families and relatives facing food insecurity. This Native youth–led effort is designed to provide immediate relief for households in need of nutritious, accessible food options.

We are grateful to share that we have received additional food and monetary donations from Carolina Complete Health and Order of the Arrow – Lodge 104, allowing us to serve even more of our community.

Each food box includes essential items selected with care for common health needs in Southeastern tribal communities, including considerations for blood pressure, blood sugar, and gluten/nut allergies.

If you or someone you know would benefit, please help spread the word. Every one of our relatives deserves to be nourished.

December 13th, 2025
11:00 AM – 1:00 PM EST
Location: OBSN Tribal Center
4902 Dailey Store Rd, Burlington, NC 27217

This distribution is open to all ENROLLED OBSN TRIBAL MEMBERS and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. To support as many families as possible, boxes are limited to one per household.

If you’d like to donate or volunteer, please send us a message or an email to [email protected].

Thank you!
