Administrative expenses covered through this grant support the operational infrastructure necessary to deliver supplemental nutrition services, nutrition education, and health and social service referrals to eligible tribal members. As an Indian Tribal Organization serving approximately 17,145 enrolled members, the tribe leverages WIC funding to address critical nutrition and health needs within its community.
