Snap fdpir nutrition ED

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Muscogee Creek Nation $210,000 on December 14, 2025, under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR, CFDA 10.567), with performance extending through September 30, 2027.

The award funds FDPIR nutrition education activities. FDPIR provides USDA-purchased 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, along with fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs through a Department of Defense partnership—to income-eligible households on the Muscogee Creek Nation's reservation and in approved service areas. Eligible households receive monthly food packages selected according to federal guide rates based on household size. The program serves as an alternative to SNAP for households without ready access to SNAP offices or authorized food stores. The Muscogee Creek Nation, doing business as Agri-Business Complex Division, administers FDPIR across its eleven-county reservation in east-central Oklahoma centered in Okmulgee County. As a federally recognized tribal government, the Nation operates as a grant recipient across 63 federal agencies, with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service among its largest funding sources. Work is performed in Okmulgee, Oklahoma 74447.
