The Walker River Paiute Tribe of Nevada was awarded a $1 million grant for a nutrition center. A community store and food pantry have been operating out of the tribe’s technology center for the past two years.
The community food center will provide nutrition and wellness programs. The grant awarded is a part of a new round of funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Food access for Nevada tribes was greatly impacted by store shortages and supply chain disruptions, during the pandemic.
