This programme allows Indian Tribal organisations to operate a food distribution programme as an alternative to the food stamp programme for those living on or near an Indian reservation. Eligibility for benefits is the same as that for the food stamp programme and funds for the programme are drawn from food stamp appropriations. Foods contained in packages include frozen and/or canned meats and poultry, canned fruits and vegetables and juices, dry cereals, cornmeal, flour, butter, macaroni, cheese, evaporated and nonfat dry milk, oats, peanuts and peanut butter, shortening and oils.
