Title VI Meal disbursement for March 23-27, 2020

Subject: Title VI Meal disbursement for March 23-27, 2020.

Due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic the Title VI meal program has made meal disbursement changes this week. In an effort to limit exposure to our elders while at the same time continuing to provide a very necessary service, we are implementing preventative measures. See the schedule below for elderly meals through the Title VI Program for the week of March 23-27th:

For homebound elders receive:
  • Monday 1 hot meal and 1 sack lunch (milk/juice)
  • Wednesday 1 hot meal and 2 sack lunches (milk/juice)

Homebound meal delivery on Monday & Wednesday:
  • 4 Title VI drivers will be accompanied by 4 health staff
  • Meals will be delivered beginning at 10:00am (health staff to arrive at 9:00am)

Elders to Pick up Meals at Shawnee Title VI (LA Title VI will be closed):
  • Monday 10:00am-2:00pm 5 frozen dinners for each elder not homebound

For all non-homebound elders, you will be receiving a call this weekend to be informed of these changes. For any inquiries please contact Absentee Shawnee Tribal Health System at 405.701.7621.
