Food is a human right

Hunger in Oregon is getting worse

Congress recently made the biggest cut to SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) in history, making it even harder for our families to put food on the table. Hundreds of thousands of Oregonians are at risk of losing the food assistance they rely on.

Everyone deserves to have food. We need to act now to protect our communities.

We can help end hunger in Oregon

By passing the Anti-Hunger Package in 2026, we can:

Make sure all Oregon kids can eat breakfast and lunch at school, no matter where they live
Protect SNAP for Oregonians to sustain our most effective anti-hunger program
Provide relief for thousands of immigrants, refugees, asylees and humanitarian parolees who have lost SNAP benefits due to H.R. 1
Fund Oregon’s emergency food system, so food pantries can keep food flowing to the growing number of Oregonians experiencing hunger

There's no reason we have to live in a world where there is hunger. There's enough food to feed every person who is alive today. Continuing to live in a world where there is hunger is a choice. We need to make the choice together to say, ‘That's unacceptable.'
