FDPIR is a Federal program that provides commodity foods to low-income households, including the elderly, living on Indian reservations, and to Native American families residing in designated areas near reservations. It is administered at the Federal level by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) and locally by either Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) or an agency of a State government.
FDPIR NutritionTalk Listserv plays a role in promoting open communication and exchange of information between tribal communities, USDA, and other agencies and organizations that provide diverse nutrition education, materials, resources, and/or health-related services to participants in the FDPIR.
