Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians Elders Department offers a variety of programs. We help support the Tribal Elders’s dignity, and independence and retain their health.
Meals on Wheels Program
The Title VI Program helps provide a free well balanced hot meal to an enrolled home-bound member, age 55 or older, of any Federally recognized tribe living within the program service area. This individual would be considered an eligible participant. Eligibility can include a spouse, handicapped or disabled family members living in the same household as the Eligible Participant (handicapped or disabled to be defined by Tribe on an individual basis).
Sacred Senior Circle
Sacred Senior Circle is a group that is a part of our Congregate Meal service. Group is held weekly on Wednesdays located at the Grandmother’s Club house.
Utility Assistance Program
For all elders there is a Utility Assistance program to be used on the following: electricity, propane, gas, wood, water, sewer, septic, garbage and/or telephone.
Seasonal Programs
During the summer season a fire prevention crew will aid elders in the rural area with brush clearing and weed eating to prevent the spread of fires.
During the winter months we will provide a cord of firewood to aid elders that live in the rural area stay warm.
