The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $975,398 Project Grant to the Small Tribes Organization Of Western Washington for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023. The grant funding supports the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), the official federal program (CFDA #10.567) aimed at providing nutrition assistance that may be operated at the request of a Tribe or Indian Tribal Organization on or near a reservation. Specifically, the Small Tribes Organization Of Western Washington will utilize the funding to operate the FDPIR program, delivering food and nutrition assistance to reservation communities from their place of performance in Lakewood, WA. As the federal program description notes, FDPIR seeks to address food insecurity through on-reservation food distribution, a service the Small Tribes Organization is well-positioned to provide through this award.
