The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon will receive $198,936.63 through a two-year Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. The grant funds the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024.

FDPIR provides food assistance and nutrition services to low-income households living on Indian reservations. Under this award, the Confederated Tribes will operate the FDPIR on the Warm Springs Reservation, approved areas near the reservation, and approved public lands to distribute food and provide nutrition assistance to eligible tribal members. As the tribal organization managing the program, the Confederated Tribes will receive and store food commodities, certify eligibility, and ensure food packages are delivered to participants. The funding will support these critical food assistance and nutrition services for the Warm Springs community through September 2024.
