Hi all,
We’re aware of the executive order to freeze all federally funded programs to go into effect this evening at 5pm EST. However, we have checked in with the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) and they said as of now, it’s business as usual. SNAP funds are distributed to the states and states distribute directly to the individuals. There’s no guarantee that this won’t change but for now, please help your students by having them follow us on IG: @uo_basicneeds, check out the SNAP page of our website, or connect with their ODHS office for updates.
I’ve attached our IG post which you may find helpful to share.
Regards,
Julia Morrill, M.S.
