The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Eastern Shoshone Tribe $209,628 on October 1, 2025, under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (CFDA 10.567), a Project Grant assistance type, for administrative costs in operating the FDPIR nutrition assistance program on the Wind River Indian Reservation.

The award funds the tribe's role as an Indian Tribal Organization administering FDPIR, which provides income-eligible households on the reservation with supplemental monthly food packages selected from over 100 available USDA Foods, including frozen and canned meats and fish, beans, peanut butter, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, rice, cereal, dairy, and oil or butter. Administrative funding supports the tribe's certification of eligible households, maintenance of case files and program records, coordination of food orders and delivery scheduling, and distribution operations.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. Work is performed at Fort Washakie, Wyoming. The Eastern Shoshone Tribe, a federally recognized tribe with over 4,300 enrolled members on the Wind River Indian Reservation, is the recipient. Administrative funding is provided annually by the Food and Nutrition Service, with availability across two federal fiscal years before expiring.
