Navajo Nation Updates Food Distribution Contacts Affecting Apache County Residents

The Navajo Nation Division of Public Health Service posted an update on January 2, 2026 to its Food Distribution Program page, consolidating warehouse locations and phone and fax contacts for supervisors who manage distribution of nutritional food packages to eligible Navajo families. The posted locations include Crownpoint, Fort Defiance, Kirtland, Leupp, Mexican Springs, Teec Nos Pos, and Tuba City, and the page provides direct contact information for residents seeking service.

This update matters to Apache County because several of the listed sites serve county residents and can shorten the time it takes to find the nearest distribution point and a working phone number. Fort Defiance and Teec Nos Pos are among the locations that directly serve families in and around Apache County. The page functions as an operational directory residents can use to confirm eligibility, learn distribution schedules, and reach supervisors by phone or fax for appointment or pickup information.

The Food Distribution Program is administered by the Navajo Nation Division of Public Health Service and is aimed at providing nutritional support to eligible households. The program’s online page now serves as a practical resource for families, social service agencies, and community organizations coordinating deliveries or pickup for elders, households without reliable transportation, and those facing food insecurity. Residents looking for the full set of locations and the supervisor contact details can consult the department’s page at ndoh.navajo-nsn.gov/Department/Division-of-Public-Health-Service/Food-Distribution-Program.

Local community leaders and service providers can use the updated directory to streamline referrals and to ensure clients reach the correct warehouse or supervisor without delay. For families who rely on scheduled food packages, having accurate phone and fax contacts helps confirm distribution dates, required paperwork, and any transport or accessibility accommodations.

The update is part of ongoing public health and social support efforts by the Navajo Nation to maintain food access across dispersed communities. Residents are encouraged to visit the Food Distribution Program page for current contact information and to call listed supervisors to verify eligibility and pickup procedures before traveling to a warehouse.
