Food Security
Food security resources in Northeast Oregon
Part of a healthy community is making sure that everyone has access to a sufficient amount of healthy food. We are lucky enough to live in a community where there are a variety of programs to help individuals and families have the food they need to be happy, healthy, productive members of society.
These programs include:
- SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)
- WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children)
- Emergency Food (Food banks and partner agencies)
