The event is drive through style starting on Wasco Street by CPS then go past Behavioral Health to the Family resource Center. Folks need to wear facemasks and remain in your vehicle. Distribution will include food boxes, COVID-19 vaccinations, Flu Shots, Facemasks, sanitizer and will end with a “to go” meal. There is also a feedback form for Tribal Members to comment on the Tribal 2022 budget draft. Please follow all COVID-19 safety protocols.

This can feel awkward when you interact with family and friends that don’t live with you or who you haven’t see in a while but it’s so important to still follow the protocols to keep our community safe.
