I hope you can join us for our upcoming Women’s Foundation of Oregon Policy Committee gathering as we introduce a new framework that will guide our policy work.

This conversation will introduce WFO’s Abundance for All Framework, which emerged directly from the collective dreams shared by our community. We believe policy is simply the structure we build around those dreams, and this meeting is an opportunity to explore how those dreams can become actionable policy priorities.

We are honored to be joined by two incredible leaders who will help ground the conversation in real policy pathways:

• Representative Tawna Sanchez, Oregon State Representative
• Councilor Angelita Morillo, Portland City Councilor

Together we will explore how community vision can shape the future of policy in Oregon and how leaders like you can help move this work forward.

I hope you can join us for this important conversation. Share and invite your friends.

There’s a lot of concern right now about SNAP benefits. On October 20, Governor Kotek officially shared that if the federal government shutdown continues beyond October 31, the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) may have to delay November SNAP benefits.

This is something we’ve never seen before. ODHS will share updates on their website at www.oregon.gov/odhs If you get SNAP, the best way to stay updated is through a ONE Online account or the Oregon ONE Mobile app.

In the meantime:

💳 Check your EBT balance — unused benefits will stay available after Nov. 1, 2025.
✍️ Write to our office so we can connect you with resources.
🥫 Know where to find emergency food if you need it.
📝 Keep your SNAP info current.

We know this is stressful, but we will continue to update you and be a resource.
