The Juneau Tlingit & Haida Community Council (JTHCC) partnered with the Central Council of Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska (CCTHITA) to host a holiday foods distribution for Tribal Citizen households.
Eligible households will receive one food package per household, which includes a free ham and a sockeye salmon filet. The sockeye filet is made possible through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, while the ham distribution is supported by JTHCC’s gaming activities.
The distribution will take place on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in the back parking lot of Thunder Mountain Middle School. Distribution will continue while supplies last and will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Tribal Citizens participating in the CCTHITA Elders Program may be eligible to have their ham and sockeye delivered. Elders are encouraged to contact CCTHITA directly to confirm they are included on the delivery list.
Participants must bring a Tribal ID to verify eligibility. Tribal Citizens who wish to authorize another individual to pick up their food package on their behalf must email JTHadmin@juneauthcc.org with the following information:
-
Tribal Citizen name
-
Tribal ID number
-
Address
-
Phone number
-
Name of the person authorized to pick up the food items
Submitting an authorization email does not reserve a distribution package, as all items will be distributed while supplies last.
