We will collaborate with Simnansho community members to provide food at longhouse and old school cafeteria, as well as boxed foods that will be delivered for those with limited mobility. We have been providing food assistance to this community since COVID-19 (see attached for more detailed information about our program). We will use funds to purchase some foods, in-addition to the donated foods we can collect from local sources. We focus on healthy, nutritious, and culturally-relevant foods. If we have enough funding, we will look to bring a food truck from Portland or Redmond/Bend to provide hot meals.
