The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) offers essential food assistance to low-income Band members residing in or near the Mille Lacs Reservation in Pine City, MN. Our mission is to provide nutritious food packages, which include fresh fruits and vegetables, as a vital alternative to traditional food stamp programs for eligible households, with a focus on those outside larger cities. To apply, individuals can easily print application forms and are encouraged to submit them with the required documentation, including signatures from all household members aged 18 and over. After submitting an application, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe typically requires five business days for processing and an additional two business days to fulfill food orders once eligibility is confirmed. We are committed to supporting our community by ensuring access to healthy food options.
