On Tuesday, November 15th, 2016, the California Valley Miwok Tribe held its monthly “USDA Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations” (FDPIR).
Once again, it was a pleasure to see everyone who was able to make the trip to the Tribal Offices today. We continue to extend the utmost gratitude towards our partners in the Tule River Tribe and USDA Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations for helping us to make this program available to our local community during the holiday season, when such assistance is often the most sorely needed.
For anyone interested in participating in the food distribution program, please don’t hesitate to contact the tribal office using the methods highlighted below, to receive more information.
