Renewal interviews resumed June 1 for all SNAP households. Housing and utility verification remains delayed, but is still coming, and work requirement impacts continue to grow, Senate Farm Bill updates, falling SNAP caseloads, and emergency preparedness for wildfire season.

The Meals 4 Kids program is currently accepting referrals. If you are working with families who may benefit from our home meal delivery program, we encourage you to submit a referral.
