HELPING OUR COMMUNITY

August 22nd 2022

At the organizational meeting for the Oak Fire some immediate needs were identified by the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation. A number of tribal members were displaced as a result of the fire and the tribal council opened the Miwumati Healing Center on Highway 49 South to those community members requiring housing, supplies, clothing and food. As a part of ensuring support for those displaced families, the Healing Center wanted to put a commercial washer and dryer in the Center facility for use by community members needing that assistance. This
was an important need that was immediately addressable, and at the Rotary Board meeting on August 10 our directors authorized the purchase of the washer and dryer requested by the tribe. Those items were delivered and installed on August 22.
