Oregon continues serving record numbers of people through its Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP benefits, formerly called food stamps, help bridge the gap for people who earn too little to meet their basic nutrition needs.

In May, 772,675 Oregonians received SNAP benefits, an increase of nine percent from one year ago. Oregon has shown steady growth in SNAP since July 2008 and is expected to peak in 2012.
