How do I Apply?
The Food Distribution Program is a federal program that provides USDA foods to low-income American Indian and Non- Indian households residing on a reservation and to households living in approved areas near a reservation that contain at least one person who is a member of a federally-recognized tribe.
Eligible households are certified based upon income and resource standards set by the federal government. Participating households must be re-certified or receive a follow-up at least once every 12 months.
The areas served by the ENIPC Food Distribution Program are Nambe, Pojoaque, Tesuque, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Ohkay Owingeh, Taos and Picuris Pueblos. In addition we also service the Taos County and Peñasco areas.
Applications for the ENIPC Food Distribution Program are available at the Nambe Office/Warehouse, and at monthly scheduled delivery sites. Households may file an application on the same day they contact the Food Distribution Program
