The Local Food Assistance Program Plus will allow the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska to purchase unprocessed or minimally processed food for Ponca Tribal members and those receiving services from departments within the Ponca Tribe. The Tribe expects to provide food distribution, on at least a monthly basis, to households residing within the Service Delivery Area. The food will be supplied through a number of local producers and providers, to include the Niobrara Market, a subsidiary of OSNI Ponca, LLC. The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska Social Services Department will make available minimally or unprocessed products to those who are food insecure. The Social Services staff will provide outreach to the various departments to ensure awareness of the funding. Through the assistance of tribal staff, the food will be distributed as needed at monthly events, as part of district events, Ponca Tribe Pow Wows, and other community or organization-wide activities.
