The Three Affiliated Tribes received a $410,119 Formula Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The grant was awarded under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) (CFDA #10.557) to provide administrative expenses from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
The WIC program aims to improve the health of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women as well as infants and children under five years of age who are determined to be at nutritional risk. Funding supports the provision of supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and referrals to health and social services to eligible participants. The Three Affiliated Tribes grant will support administrative costs associated with operating the WIC program and delivering these services to at-risk individuals in New Town, North Dakota.
