The Qagan Tayagungin Tribe operates the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations in Sand Point through a partnership with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. This program is an alternative to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) operated by the State of Alaska, otherwise known as the food stamp program.
This federal program provides nutritional food assistance to all income-eligible households residing on a reservation or in an Alaska Native tribal community such as Sand Point. Eligible households are certified based upon income and resource standards set by the federal government, and must be re-certified at least every 12 months. The Food Distribution Program is provided by a service grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Food Nutrition Service.
For more information on this program, please feel free to contact our Tribal office for Sand Point specific information, or visit ANTHC for more information on the program in Alaska.
