Congress is preparing to cut federal nutrition programs in its upcoming budget resolution. If passed, these cuts would strip away a fundamental human right—access to food—from over 700 thousand families, older adults and children in Oregon who rely on programs like SNAP to survive.
Hunger is already a crisis in Oregon—1 in 8 people experience food insecurity, including 1 in 6 children. Last year, our network of over 1,200 community-based partners saw a 31% increase in demand, serving 2.5 million visits at food assistance sites across the state. Without federal support, these numbers will only worsen.
Use our digital tool to write to your US Senators and Representative and say NO to cuts that will increase hunger and hurt Oregonians.
