Community Services Block Grant

COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (CSBG)

This small grant provides one elder activity and one youth activity once a year. The CSBG provides the elders with a choice of:

1. Turkeys and blankets on Thanksgiving or
2. Hams on Christmas or
3. Fans during the summer.

A survey is filled out by the Delaware elders once a year to give them a choice on the items they would like to receive for that year. The CSBG gives these items on a first come first serve basis.

The youth activity is held usually the 1st or 2nd week in August during the American Indian Exposition in Anadarko, Oklahoma. The American Indian Exposition is a six day event that is held (Monday-Saturday). The Delaware Nation CSBG program purchases fair bracelets for enrolled Delaware children ages 3-12 years old that attend the American Indian Exposition carnival. The bracelets are given on a first come first serve basis.
