Food Assistance Resources During Federal Shutdown

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has warned that if the federal government shutdown extends beyond October 31, November SNAP (food assistance) benefits may be disrupted.

If you or someone you know needs help accessing food, Marion-Polk Food Share offers resources to find support. See the following section or visit this link to find community food sites and assistance near you:  https://marionpolkfoodshare.org/find-food/

Oregonians have always come together to take care of one another. No one in our community should ever have to go without food. Let’s make sure every neighbor has access to what they need.

My office is meeting with local leaders and food bank representatives to identify ways we can provide support. You can help too by:

(1) checking in on your neighbors, and
(2) making a donation to your local food bank or to the Marion-Polk Food
