Menominee Indian Tribe — Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR)

The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin operates the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) in Keshena, providing nutritious food items to eligible low-income tribal members since its establishment in October 1980. The program has expanded its mission to support food sovereignty by partnering with neighboring tribes to procure and distribute tribally sourced foods, including indigenous staples like wild rice, bison, and locally grown produce, while working to increase access to healthy, culturally relevant foods for community members facing food insecurity.
