Many people in our communities do not have access to food assistance programs. Why? Because federal policy makers have excluded whole parts of our community from food assistance based on arbitrary factors like immigration status. Here in Oregon, we have expanded access for immigrant and refugee Oregonians in healthcare, public safety and other basic rights. Now we need to expand access to food assistance.
Food for All Oregonians envisions an Oregon where all people have access to food no matter where we were born or our immigration status. We aim to realize this vision through culturally-responsive programs and benefit navigation that will help ensure food assistance and security for ALL Oregonians.
