Snap fdpir SAE

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Seneca Nation of Indians $427,955 on October 1, 2025, to administer the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR; CFDA 10.567) through September 30, 2027. The award funds administrative costs for FDPIR operations in Salamanca, New York, where the Seneca Nation certifies income-eligible households, manages distribution of USDA Foods selected from a list exceeding 100 domestically purchased items including frozen and canned meats and fish, beans, produce, grains, dairy, and other staples, and maintains program records and case files. FDPIR serves income-eligible households residing on the reservation as an alternative to SNAP for households without convenient access to SNAP offices or authorized food stores. The Seneca Nation, a federally recognized tribal government, receives formula and project grants across social services, infrastructure, and community development without competitive bidding; FDPIR is one of several recurring formula allocations supporting the Nation's service delivery to residents of the Allegany and Cattaraugus territories in western New York.
