The Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA) is sponsoring an application-based meat pack voucher program in partnership with Arctic Cooperatives Ltd. The program will run for four months and households are eligible to apply monthly.

Boxes containing beef, pork and chicken are being distributed in Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Gjoa Haven, Kugaaruk and Taloyoak.

The KIA, thanks to matching donations from its industry partners, is also sending $8,500 toward holiday food hampers in each of the Kitikmeot communities.
