This Saturday, November 1, federal food assistance programs including SNAP and WIC will lose funding due to the ongoing government shutdown. Nearly 42 million Americans – including many in our Pacific family – will lose access to these critical benefits. Our campus food pantries – the Boxer Food Share in Forest Grove and the Hillsboro Campus Food Pantry – are ramping up efforts to help fill the gap for our students as federal benefits disappear.

The seven restructuring committees continue to provide a summary of their work every other week. These documents can be accessed from the Transforming Our Pacific webpage and here as well.

The federal government shutdown is affecting funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). If the shutdown continues into November, SNAP benefits will not be issued in Oregon until federal funding resumes. This is unprecedented and the impact on our community will be significant (750,000+ Oregonians and 40 million people nationwide, including 16 million children, currently rely on food assistance through SNAP). You can help.
