The Native Village of Eyak is participating in the food distribution program for low income households, including the elderly, on Indian Reservations.
Through this program, income eligible households will receive nutritional foods each month. The program is open to Alaska Native, American Indian and non-Indian households residing in a federally recognized tribal community.
Elderly and disabled households may be certified for up to 24 months.
Participants can select from over 70 products including, but not limited to, fresh produce, canned meats, soups and sauce, cheese, egg mix and beans.
FDPIR also provides nutritional education, recipes and preparation tips.
Household members are not permitted to participate in both the Food Stamp Program and FDPIR at the same time.
To fill out an application contact Jessica Weaver at 907-424-7738 or email jessica.weaver@eyak-nsn.gov.
