The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded $438,408 to the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation on October 1, 2025, under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (CFDA 10.567), a nutrition assistance program operated by Indian Tribal Organizations on reservations and approved nearby areas.

The award funds administrative costs for the Yakama Nation to operate FDPIR, certifying income-eligible households on and near the Yakama reservation in Washington and distributing USDA Foods selected by households from a list exceeding 100 items including frozen and canned meats and fish, beans, peanut butter, fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy, and domestically grown fresh produce provided through the USDA–Department of Defense Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The Yakama Nation is responsible for household eligibility determination based on national SNAP-aligned income standards, food ordering and local storage, and maintenance of case files and program records.

Period of performance runs October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. Place of performance is Toppenish, Washington. Administrative funding is provided annually and remains available for use across two federal fiscal years before expiring. Households may participate in FDPIR as an alternative to SNAP when they lack convenient access to SNAP offices or authorized retailers.
