214,000 children depend on this support.

This support has now been removed

What Now?

With SNAP benefits suspended due to the government shutdown, 42 million Americans—including thousands of families right here in Central Oregon—have lost access to food assistance right before the holidays.

The government systems have failed our neighbors. But we haven’t!

The Neighborhood Needs Network is our community's response. We're connecting people who need groceries with neighbors who can help. No paperwork. No judgment. Just people taking care of people.

HOW IT WORKS:

  1. Text ‘GIVE’ to (541)316-8872 to join our helper network

  2. Get notified when there's a need in your area

  3. Respond if you can help (no pressure if you can't!)

  4. Coordinate directly with your neighbor

No commitment required. Help once or help often. Every bit matters.
