At Oregon Food Bank we believe ending hunger means addressing those inequities and standing with women, trans and gender-diverse people whose leadership and courage strengthen our shared path toward justice and abundance for all. 🌈 Happy International Pronouns Day!

Across the country we continue to see sexism, gender-based oppression and racism driving hunger and poverty in our communities. These forces limit people’s access to opportunity, dignity and nourishment. 🌈 Happy International Pronouns Day!

🌈 Happy International Pronouns Day! Everyone deserves to be seen, respected and free to show up as who they are. Using someone’s correct pronouns is a simple act of care that helps build belonging and strengthens the kind of community and food system where everyone feels safe, valued + included.

@opb.org: “This allowed them to do more mutual aid work, and allowed them to invest in their community differently than how they were doing for their business,” Sara Cross said. https://www.opb.org/article/2025/09/23/oregon-farmers-local-food-deliveries-assistance-federal-cuts/

ℹ️ WIC is the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children and "provides free or low-cost food, nutrition education, and referrals to other services to help low-income families maintain the health of their children and pregnant or breastfeeding women." (USDA)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, "provides nutrition assistance to eligible, low-income individuals and households via a monthly benefit on an EBT card, similar to a debit card. The card can be used at authorized retailer stores to purchase food." (USDA)

We are experiencing a federal government shutdown and are unsure of its duration. Oregon Food Bank services remain open and uninterrupted. As of now, SNAP and WIC are still available. A brief federal government shutdown is unlikely to impact people's ability to use these benefits.

Parents are skipping meals so their kids can eat. And now, the congressional Republican budget bill will be taking away food from struggling families. On #HungerActionMonth, remember that hunger is a policy choice, and we can choose differently @oregonfoodbank.bsky.social

Food pantries are supposed to be the last line of defense against hunger, but demand is skyrocketing. And it's about to get a lot worse, due to the congressional Republican budget #hungeractionmonth @oregonfoodbank.bsky.social

Si usted o alguien que conoce depende de despensas de alimentos y sitios de distribución de comidas, comuníquese con su despensa con anticipación para asegurarse de que sus operaciones no se vean afectadas de incendios forestales.

“We as a state did not take sufficient strides to address hunger in the 2025 (legislative session),” said Matt Newell-Ching, senior manager of public policy at Oregon Food Bank. Read full article on @opb.org. #foodinsecurity #snapcuts #bigbeautifulbill #medicaidcuts #endhunger

“We know that SNAP benefits typically last an average family less than about 3 weeks out of the month. That’s why we see people who need both SNAP and our food pantries,” said Matt Newell-Ching, policy manager for Oregon Food Bank. “This is going to be a real challenge for our network to absorb.”
