Osiyo: We wanted to reach out to let you know that the Cherokee Nation clothing assistance program has been temporarily expanded to assist all Cherokee kids no matter where they live and no matter their household income. The clothing assistance program is part of Cherokee Nation’s COVID-19 Respond, Recover and Rebuild plan. The tribe will budget approximately $13 million for this year’s clothing assistance program. Since 2020 Cherokee Nation has provided more than $750 million in individual assistance payments under the Respond, Recover and Rebuild plan. Cherokee Nation Human Services will accept applications for the school clothing assistance program now through July 29 at 5 p.m. through the tribe’s online Gadugi Portal at https://gadugiportal.cherokee.org/. You can learn more about the program on the Gadigi Portal and at this link: https://anadisgoi.com/index.php/government-stories/991-cherokee-nation-temporarily-expands-clothing-assistance-for-all-cherokee-children-regardless-of-age-residency-or-income/. Stay connected with Cherokee Nation on social media or our website, cherokee.org, for any updates on this program. From our families to yours, we hope you are having a safe and enjoyable summer. Chuck Hoskin, Jr. Principal Chief Bryan Warner, Deputy Principal Chief.
