The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Lac Du Flambeau Band Of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians $341,030 on October 1, 2025, for administration of the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR, CFDA 10.567).

The award funds the tribe's operation of FDPIR, which distributes USDA-purchased foods to income-eligible households on the Lac Du Flambeau Reservation. The tribe certifies household eligibility, manages monthly food package selection and distribution from a list of over 100 available items (frozen and canned meats, beans, produce, grains, dairy, and other staples), and maintains required program records. Administrative funding is provided annually; the tribe must submit updated budget documents each year.

Performance runs through September 30, 2027, at Lac Du Flambeau, Wisconsin. This is a Project Grant assistance type. The tribe operates FDPIR as an alternative nutrition assistance program for households without convenient access to SNAP offices or authorized food retailers; participants may not receive FDPIR and SNAP simultaneously in the same month.
