The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) is a federally administered food assistance program that provides USDA foods to income-eligible households in the Aroostook County area. The program serves income-eligible Native American households living on the reservation as well as non-Native people living in tribal households throughout the service area. Located in Houlton, Maine, this facility is one of only three of its kind in the Northeast, operating as an alternative to the federal SNAP program with the goals of reducing food insecurity, improving nutrition and wellness, and increasing access to quality food for tribal citizens and surrounding communities.
