The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Quinault Indian Nation $465,924 on October 1, 2025, under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (CFDA 10.567), with performance ending September 30, 2027. The award funds the administrative operation of FDPIR at the Quinault reservation in Taholah, Washington, including household eligibility certification, food ordering and distribution logistics, case-file maintenance, and program compliance reporting. The Quinault Indian Nation, a federally recognized tribe headquartered in Taholah, administers the program to distribute USDA Foods—including over 100 domestically purchased items such as frozen and canned meats, beans, peanut butter, frozen and canned produce, grains, dairy, and fresh fruits and vegetables through a DoD partnership—to income-eligible tribal households as a monthly supplemental food package. Eligible households select foods within federal guide rates based on household size and may participate in FDPIR as an alternative to SNAP where access to SNAP offices or authorized retailers is limited. The nation holds 25 total awards from the Food and Nutrition Service across its federal grant portfolio, concentrated in nutrition assistance and food distribution programs.
