The Sac & Fox Nation received a $1.14 million project grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The two-year award, issued on October 1, 2022 and concluding on September 30, 2024, will support the tribe's participation in the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR).
FDPIR aims to address food insecurity among Native American populations by facilitating the delivery of USDA-donated foods to eligible households living on Indian reservations and surrounding areas. Under this grant, the Sac & Fox Nation will operate the program, distributing nutritious food packages to qualifying community members. The funding will also allow for associated administrative and operational costs of managing food provision through the reservation-based FDPIR program over the award's 24-month period.
