"If your family is eligible, we want you to apply for this one-time benefit because we don’t want to leave federal lunch money on the table," said HHS Access and Eligibility Services Deputy Executive Commissioner Wayne Salter. "We’re pleased with how many families have so far received this benefit, but there are still thousands of eligible families in our communities that can apply for assistance.”

The Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer program is a one-time benefit of $285 per child, and can be used the same way as SNAP.

Amid the early stages of the Covid19 pandemic, there was little to no assistance from the Kiowa tribe, and, as a result, there were many families going without food due to loss of income. In response to those KIC families without jobs and struggling to feed their families in DFW, a quick call to action for Kiowa, and by Kiowa, in North Texas was answered.

North Texas Kiowa 4 Kiowa is not a membership service. We don't hold member meetings or discuss political agendas. We are KIC in N. Texas with vast resources to help those locally in need. When no other help was available, we, like other KIC in different zip codes, made it possible to disperse assistance. As a result, not only did we help KIC in need, we also managed to help many tribal and non-tribal people as well. We did this without politics or bickering. We saw a need for humanity and we strived to fulfill this need.

For now, North Texas Kiowa 4 Kiowa will remain active but we will continue to support our District 7 KIC. If you know anyone in N. Texas still in need of pantry provisions, please fell free to message Michael here.

Ah-ho.

Hello Couygoi. Just to clarify on food baskets/ groceries. For all those that have pledged within the last few hours, ah-ho koh doh gyah "T igh gyah (thank you very much, it's good.) Regarding the messages about what items go inside the food basket, here's some further elaboration.

First, if there's a pantry nearby we should start there. Beyond that, our most recent food basket was geared towards a family of 5. Their situation was critical. Fortunately for them Catholic Charities put them up in a motel. After being contacted with their need, we helped by delivering them groceries. The food basket couldn't have anything that needed to be prepared in a microwave or stove, but they did have a small ice box in their room. Because they didn't have a microwave or stove, they received cereal, milk, bread, meats, condiments, snacks, and a rotissere chicken for a hot meal. So it really depends on the situation. It's really not a basket per say but i use the word "basket." Luckily, we were able to pickup the groceries and deliver to them. For other situations where delivering the groceries wasn't an option, PayPal, Zelle, and Walmart to Walmart have worked well to offer assistance.

I hope this helps.

Hello N Texas Kiowa Indian Council, Kiowa descendents, and Allies!

I want to update everyone on food supplies and the action that has been going on since Covid-19 lockdown.

We still have a few people that have pledged food baskets for any Kiowa in need. To date myself and others have assisted with 11 different food baskets in North Texas from various tribes, but only 1 was Kiowa.

Please be mindful that this FB Page is for N. Texas KIC to offer assistance for other N. Texas KIC. Those that are able to help, we do so because we're humbled to be Kiowa.

To end, this isn't a political page. We have voting for District 7 coming up in May. There are several pages on Facebook with candidates info and all the political stuff one needs. Please do your part to vote for the one you feel will best serve children, elders, and our future.

Kiowally,

Hello everyone!

This page is looking for 1-2 admins to help post updates . We are also seeking to establish outreach techs for N Texas. (Voluntarily basis only.) So if there any wanting to step up and have a desire to help their fellow Kiowa in times of crises please announce yourself. There are a few of us already and we could use more. A N. Texas Kiowa 4 Kiowa conference call is being scheduled to garner more attention to this effort.

CURRENTLY, for any District 7 KIC needing financial assistance due to Covid-19, funds are still being allocated for District 7. There are more Kiowa in District 7 than any of the other Districts. Therefore, KIC in District 7 must meet an approval process for Covid-19 relief. (((There are NO general funds being distributed in District 7 unless you've been recently laid off.)))

All 7 Districts were given $10,00.00 to disperse among their constituents. Who received what money was determined by each districts Legislator. District 7 Legislator is Modina Waters. With that being said, if your family is in need please email: [email protected]. Please don't hesitate to ask her. Additionally, please report back if you have applied so fellow KIC can stay abreast.

Lastly, we have a few food baskets pledged. If your family is in need and not able to gather supplies bc of no money, don't hesitate to reach out. We are not alone here, but we are without much tribal help. It is what it is. The next step is making it work for those N. Texas KIC in need.

Please stay tuned....bay goon tay taw (take care of yourself!)

Michael
