Having enough healthy food to eat is a basic need. With rising food costs, many individuals and families across Oregon are struggling to afford groceries. Help is available.
NeedFood.Oregon.gov is a central, statewide resource that connects people to food pantries and meal sites, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), other food assistance programs, and local food resources in their communities.
To support outreach and referrals, the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) has made new flyers and wallet cards available in multiple languages. These materials can be printed and shared with individuals and families who may be experiencing food insecurity. The materials are available on the NeedFood.Oregon.gov website—scroll to the bottom of the page and select “Materials to print and share.”
These tools make it easier for people to find food help quickly and with dignity. Whether someone needs emergency food today or help finding ongoing resources, NeedFood.Oregon.gov helps connect people in Oregon to support—no matter their eligibility for SNAP.
These tools support the public, ODHS staff, and community partners in connecting people to food assistance when they need it most.
Additional support and resources
ODHS understands that many individuals and families across Oregon are struggling to afford enough healthy food. Help is available, regardless of eligibility for SNAP.
