Information on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly the Food Stamp Program, is a federal nutrition program that focuses on putting healthy food within reach of low income Oregonians. In addition to helping community members access healthy food the SNAP Program helps support the local economy and is a way to make sure our tax dollars help our community. According to the Oregon Hunger Task Force if everyone eligible for the SNAP program were enrolled it would mean an additional $1,427,337 EACH MONTH for this area.
