Find Out if You are Eligible for Food Stamps

The Food Stamp Program in Oregon can help you buy food. If you are eligible, you will get an "Oregon Trail Card" to use at the grocery store. Paper food stamps aren't used anymore.

Grocery Store

You may be able to get Food Stamps if:

  • You work and earn low wages
  • You do not work
  • You are on welfare or other programs
  • You are elderly or disabled and have a small income
  • You don't make enough money to feed your family

Be sure to tell Child, Adult and Family Services if you need to get Food Stamps soon or you have another kind of emergency.
