flag Oregon uses $1M in emergency funds to aid tribes with food insecurity during federal shutdown.

flag Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has allocated $1 million in emergency funds to the state’s nine federally recognized tribes to address food insecurity amid the ongoing federal government shutdown, which has disrupted SNAP and other nutrition programs. flag The funds, distributed through the Oregon Department of Human Services by November 7, will support tribal food assistance efforts with flexibility to respect tribal self-governance. flag This action follows a $5 million allocation to food banks and a declaration of a hunger emergency, as the state steps in to fill gaps left by federal inaction. flag Residents can access food resources via needfood.oregon.gov, alimentos.oregon.gov, or by calling 2-1-1.
