We’ve heard a lot of feedback from our network partners about low volumes of food from OFB coupled with increased local demand throughout the state.  Attached are some of the factors influencing our current landscape, some of our projections moving forward, and an update on state funds for food purchase.  The high level overview is that a number of temporary factors are coming together to create a dip in product volumes.  

Introduction to Group Dynamics
Thursday, August 10
1:30pm - 3:00pm

A good team is creative, effective, and mission-focused. Sometimes, group dynamics are the make or break it point for teams. Recognizing, responding to, and addressing group dynamics can be challenging. In this session, we will do a deep dive into group dynamics, use a power-conscious lens to think about groups, and practice addressing oppressive and problematic behavior.

Attached are the meeting notes from our Wednesday March 8th meeting with the regional USDA Representative, where members of our Statewide Network team and local partner agencies got to sit down to a discussion with the USDA about the end of SNAP emergency allotments, the future of TEFAP allocations, and more. 

Join Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon for a virtual Town Hall  – we want to hear directly from people who use SNAP!  

As of March 2023, SNAP users no longer receive emergency food benefits known as SNAP Emergency Allotments.  This change affects over 416,000 Oregon families who depend on the program.
