Ponca Tribe Of Oklahoma — Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR)

The Ponca Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma operates the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), a federal program providing USDA foods to low-income households in approved areas of Oklahoma. Founded under the Food Stamp Act of 1977 as an alternative to the Food Stamp Program, FDPIR was created to serve Native American families in remote areas with limited access to food resources and grocery stores. Based in Ponca City, the program serves eligible tribal members across multiple counties in north-central Oklahoma and is operated by the Ponca Tribe, a federally recognized tribe.
