Federal actions under H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (119th Congress, 2025–2026), imposed deep cuts to programs essential to food security.

Oregon must act now to stabilize access, protect households from further harm, and invest in long-term, equitable solutions that strengthen food security in every community.

In response, the Oregon Hunger Task Force offers the following policy recommendations for the 2026 short legislative session to address the urgent and escalating realities of hunger across the state.
