Fighting food insecurity to uphold Cherokee values

Across the Cherokee Nation Reservation, the summer months are a time of family vacations, community festivals, and many other opportunities for Cherokees and our friends and neighbors to gather together. Just as important, the season is an important time for our tribal nation to live out the value of ensuring our most vulnerable citizens, including elders and youth, always have access to healthy, nutritious food. These programs provide more than just meals; they deliver on the promise of a responsible government to serve its citizens with compassion and vision.
