🥕FULL restoration of SNAP benefits is good news for nearly 760K Oregonians, including 143K in Multnomah County alone. Full Nov. benefits are here, and they won’t be taken away.

🛒 Check your EBT balance before shopping. If you think there’s an error, contact the Oregon Dept. of Human Services.

Slow down, lights on!

Last year, 83% of traffic deaths occurred from dusk to dawn. The rain decreases visibility even more. As we head into the darkest and rainiest months of the year, make sure to drive with your lights on and slow down!

Today's dry sunny weather is great weather for clearing a storm drain ahead of the next storm heading our way.

Portland’s storm drains, also known as catch basins, help with stormwater runoff and prevent flooding.

📣 As community members feel the impacts of the federal shutdown and reduced funding for SNAP food benefits, you might be wondering how you can help. Monetary donations to food banks, pantries and community-based organizations are recommended and go a long way: multco.us/food
