The Tribe has been awarded a new grant in the amount of $80,000 to assist our elders with Covid related concerns over the next two years.

The funds which are part of the Title VI Nutritional and Caregiver grant, will allow the Lunch and Learn Nutritional Program to hire an outreach worker who can interpret health care initiatives and specifically those guidelines coming from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This part-time worker will be responsible for assisting our community health care workers by contacting and visiting with our elders directly to educate them and them to understand the CDC initiatives. Specifically, they will be able to help tribal elders understand and administer self-testing kits for Covid. The outreach worker will also be responsible for helping tribal elders with critical knowledge about how to prevent themselves from getting sick.

Anyone interested in applying for this position should contact Human Resources Manager Kayla Gomes at 508-477-0208 ext. 120 or Donald Peters Title VI Director at ext. 117.
