Additional Information
The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) is a jointly funded program between the USDA and the Choctaw Nation. This program provides healthy, nutritious foods to income-eligible households living within the boundaries of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and those counties in Arkansas and Texas that border the Choctaw Nation. The Food Distribution Program has five markets located strategically across the Choctaw Nation to better serve our tribal members, including Antlers, Broken Bow, Durant, McAlester and Poteau. Applications are available below or at any one of the Choctaw Nation Community Centers as well as at each Food Distribution Market.
