For the month of September, the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry (NAPI) will be resuming food distributions to chapter houses within the different agencies.
Each distribution sites will be handing out the following food items:
- 50-pound bags of potatoes
- 20-pound bags of beans
- 25-pound bags of flour (if available)
- 10-pound bags of blue, yellow and white cornmeal
This food distribution wouldn’t have been possible without our Navajo Nation Washington Office (NNWO). NNWO applied for and secured a $5.5 million USDA grant to bring food to out to the 110 chapters and communities to address food insecurity.
Thank you to the Navajo Department of Agriculture, USDA’s Local Food Purchase Program, Navajo Pride and NAPI for making this effort become a reality to serve families in need.
The following are the dates for upcoming food distributions:
- 9/09: Gadiiahi/Tokoi (Shiprock Agency)
- 9/16: Tselani/Cottonwood (Chinle Agency)
- 9/17: Chinle (Chinle Agency)
- 9/19: Nazlini (Chinle Agency)
We will continue to provide updates on upcoming distribution dates. For more information, call your local chapter houses. Let’s continue to work together and help each other!
