Food Distribution
The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) is a program of the Food and Nutrition Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This program provides foods for good health to households living on Indian reservations. Indians living off the reservation in the service area may also be eligible provided they live in a town with the population of less than 10,000. You may qualify to receive these foods if you are low-income. NOTE: Persons receiving CalFresh (food stamps) are not eligible for the program.
Applications are available at our office and on-line. Complete the application and return it to the office and arrange for an interview with the Certifier.
