Food Distribution Program

The Cherokee Nation Food Distribution Program in Jay, OK, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to eligible Native American families within its jurisdiction. Offering well-balanced and nutritious food packages prepared by the USDA Food and Nutrition Services, our program ensures that each household member receives adequate nourishment to meet basic dietary needs. With a shopping experience designed to be comfortable and familiar, participants can select their food items in a welcoming grocery store environment. The amount of food distributed is based on the number of approved household members, enabling personalized support for every family we serve. Please note that all Food Distribution Program stores are temporarily closed for inventory during the last three working days of each month.
