With the ongoing government shutdown affecting SNAP benefits, we want our Bethel community to know that local food resources are available.

In Oregon, about 1 in 6 people—roughly 757,000 Oregonians—receive SNAP benefits, including 210,000 children and 130,000 older adults. This is a large part of our community, and we know any disruption in benefits will have a deep impact. 
If your family is feeling this strain, please know you are not alone. Local food pantries, meal sites, and community partners are here to help. 

We’re a community that takes care of one another. Please share these resources with friends and neighbors who may need support.
