With the upcoming temporary suspension of SNAP benefits anticipated on November 1, 2025, many individuals and families in Central Oregon will face increased food insecurity. To support those affected, Thrive Central Oregon has compiled a list of local food resources available throughout Bend, including free meal sites, grocery-style food pantries, and community food markets.
Organizations such as The Giving Plate, St. Vincent de Paul, Family Kitchen, and Shepherd’s House continue to provide essential food assistance to residents. The attached flyer (available in English and Spanish) offers details on hours, locations, and contact information for these and other programs.
Community members are encouraged to share this information widely and reach out directly to these organizations for the most up-to-date service times.
