It is one of over 100 Distribution Sites operating on Indian Reservations and Communities throughout the United States.  In an attempt to overcome the problems of hunger on the Reservations by providing eligible households with a well-balanced, nutritious monthly food package, a new family nutritious program was developed.

MISSION / VISION STATEMENT

We believe in providing a nutritious food package for eligible households, and nutrition education to improve the quality of life on LCO. Also, our vision is to eliminate hunger in LCO; to improve / cure prevalent diseases through proper nutrition and exercise.
