The California Valley Miwok Tribe (located at 10601 N. Escondido PL, Stockton, CA, as listed in the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ BIA/DOI Spring 2011 Tribal Leaders Directory), a federally recognized tribe eligible to receive and distribute services from the federal government – on Tuesday, December 13th, 2011, held the final installment for this year’s USDA tribally-sponsored food program. Next year will be a new beginning and we hope that anyone that may qualify for this program submits an application so that in the new year, we may be allowed to assist through our program in helping to fulfill their family’s nutritional needs.
On hand at this distribution was Tule River Food Distribution Director, Mr. Richard McDarment, whom assisted with the distributions throughout the day – so at this time the tribe would like to thank him for his assistance and Tule River Food Distribution staff members, Mr. Ronald Buckman and Ms. Patricia Solas, the United States Department of Agriculture and all of the participants whose involvement make this tribally offered program a continued success.
