FOOD BANK

This assistance is available for tribal members and other Native American households living on the reservation.  Food Bank hours are from 10:00 AM-4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.  Food boxes are only given to households who come into the office to sign up for a box.  At no time will we give a box to someone else for you.  You may sign up for a box once weekly.  Delivery of food boxes is only offered to the elderly and/or handicapped persons.  Delivery requests need to be called in before 12:30 PM

CLOTHING BANK

The clothing bank is open to receive clothing donations, and then clients in need can look through the donations and take items they need for themselves or family members.  The clothing bank is open during office hours, and is available to tribal/community members.

EMERGENCY

Emergency assistance is available for Muckleshoot tribal households who are experiencing an emergency within their household.  It is available once per (calendar) year.  This assistance requires an application explaining circumstances, and income eligibility information.  If you are in need of assistance, please come in and fill out an application. You can use it on rent/mortgage, utilities, appliances, car insurance (liability only), home telephone service (basic service only-no cell phone payments), car repairs (through a certified mechanic only), etc.  We no longer assist with temporary housing, except in medical situations.  Our housing assistance is for permanent housing only.  This assistance depends on availability of funds.

LAUNDRY ASSISTANCE

Laundry assistance is available for tribal member households once quarterly.  If you have a need for this assistance you can pick up an application at the Resource Center.  The amount of assistance is based on your household size.  If you have a washer/dryer but need laundry soap, we have soap available on a quarterly basis.

OTHER - (tribal member households only)

Our office has diaper assistance, which is available once every two (2) weeks.  We also have personal hygiene packs available once every quarter, which is available to tribal member adults 18 years or older.  We also have women's personal items available.  If you are in need of any other type of assistance, please don't hesitate to ask us for help.  If our office does not assist with what you need, we will assist you with finding other options.

ENERGY ASSISTANCE

There are two types of energy assistance funds that we receive throughout the year.  The LIHEAP energy funds are for low income Native American households residing within King or Pierce County (excluding Seattle city limits).  Tax Fund energy funds follow the same guidelines as LIHEAP, but must have a Muckleshoot tribal member living within the household.
