Lillian Vallely Youth Foundation Helping Native American children build a bridge to their future success Our Mission Nearly five years ago on one of those sunny bluesky afternoons in November a good friend approached me at the end of a ribbon cutting and dedication of the new Patriot Field memorial in Blackfoot. Lee Hammetts reputation for getting things done was fresh as the cofounder and President of the Community Dinner Table CDT a new organization providing thousands of meals in Bingham County. When I asked him how he was doing he replied pretty good and then asked for some help. Lee told me that he was serving on the board for the Lillian Vallely School just off the Fort Hall Reservation.
