The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded Small Tribes Organization of Western Washington $1,457,180 on October 1, 2025, under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR, CFDA 10.567), with performance through September 30, 2027.

STOWW distributes supplemental monthly food packages to income-eligible Native American households on and near tribal reservations in Washington state. The USDA-purchased food list includes over 100 domestically sourced items: frozen and canned meats and fish, canned and dry beans, peanut butter and nuts, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, rice, cereal and other grains, dairy products, and oil or butter. Through a USDA partnership with the Department of Defense Defense Logistics Agency, the program also includes fresh fruits, vegetables, and fresh eggs.

STOWW, a Native American-owned nonprofit community development corporation based in Tacoma, Washington, serves as the Indian Tribal Organization administering FDPIR in its service territory. The organization certifies household eligibility based on national income standards tied to SNAP net monthly income thresholds adjusted by applicable SNAP standard deductions. Households may select food packages in accordance with federal guide rates based on household size and receive deliveries on a locally determined schedule. Participating households cannot simultaneously enroll in SNAP during the same month.
