SNAP Food Support
Here are some more:
Cafe Yumm! — Café Yumm! restaurants across Oregon and Washington will offer children a free small Yumm! Bowl from Nov. 4-15 while supplies last. Just show your EBT/SNAP card while ordering in, with your child present.
Laughing Planet Cafe — Ask for "Adults SNAP" or "kids SNAP meal" to get a free meal at all locations. More info here.
Grassa — Until the SNAP program is fully funded, Grassa is offering free meals to children. Have one person show their SNAP card, and a child in the group can get a kid's pasta for free. No purchase is required, Grassa said. More information can be found here.

SNAP help from OEA
OEA Relief Fund Committee convened and approved up to $10,000 for each UniServ Council to provide food for children, families, and community members.
These grants are designed to help fill the gap left by the recent denial of SNAP benefits to hundreds of thousands of Oregonians.
Key facts:
SNAP funds previously brought more than $1.5 billion into Oregon’s economy.
They supported 209,461 children, automatically making them eligible for free school meals.
In total, SNAP benefits helped 771,719 Oregonians put food on the table.
