Commodities Program

NOTICE:  This department will be closed for inventory on Friday, March 31, 2023, and Monday, April 3, 2023

Purpose: To assist low-income families with supplemental food and nutritional education. The program provides food for good health to eligible Native American households in Klamath County. The program also provides outreach delivery services to rural community residents. A part of the USDA Commodity program is to provide nutrition education through a variety of media to tribal members and Native Americans on an ongoing basis. The emphasis of the education program is to promote basic good eating habits.

Closed every 3rd Thursday of the month for truck delivery as well as the 1st and last business day of the month for inventory. 2023 Inventory Closures Calendar

Background & Program Year (funded by USDA)- The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) provides USDA Foods to income-eligible households living on Indian reservations and to Native American households residing in Klamath County. USDA distributes both food and administrative funds to participating Indian Tribal Organizations and state agencies to operate FDPIR.

Available Services Eligibility requirements for FDPIR are similar, but not identical, to those for SNAP/FSP. FDPIR households cannot participate in both FDPIR and SNAP/FSP in the same month, so those who are eligible for both programs must choose between them. Because the eligibility requirements are slightly different a household may not be eligible for SNAP but may be eligible under the FDPIR program, unlike SNAP your food benefits are not prorated.

Eligibility– must be an enrolled member or descendant of a federally recognized tribe, household must meet income limits, provide proof of address, and not participating in SNAP.
