The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians $211,462 on October 1, 2025, as a Project Grant under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR, CFDA 10.567). The award funds program administration for FDPIR operations in New Odanah, Wisconsin, through September 30, 2027. Bad River Tribal Council uses the award to administer the distribution of USDA Foods to income-eligible households on the Bad River reservation, including over 100 domestically purchased items such as frozen and canned meats and fish, beans, peanut butter, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, grains, and dairy products. The tribe certifies eligible households, maintains program records, and coordinates food delivery and storage. FDPIR provides households an alternative to SNAP participation and operates on an annual funding cycle; administrative funds are obligated each fiscal year with a two-year period of availability before expiring.
