SNAP Benefits Update (Nov. 7, 2025): Following a court order, the state of Oregon has issued full November SNAP benefits to all recipients. This means all Oregonians receiving SNAP will have their full monthly benefit available now, regardless of their usual payment schedule. Please view the press release from the Governor’s Office for full details.
We recognize that many families in our district are facing increasing financial uncertainty due to recent federal changes affecting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps. We understand the critical role these benefits play in providing nutritious meals, and we want to assure our community that our schools remain a stable source of comprehensive food support for every child.
All students enrolled in the David Douglas School District continue to receive breakfast and lunch completely free of charge. Each day, our students enjoy a variety of healthy and well-balanced meal options. We are pleased to confirm that the funding for these essential school nutrition programs is secure and remains fully in place at this time. If that situation changes, we will notify you as soon as possible to ensure you can plan accordingly.
While we strive to meet the nutritional needs of our students during school hours, we know that family needs extend beyond the school day. For families seeking immediate or ongoing food assistance, please visit our David Douglas School District Food Resource webpage. We continue to update our webpage, so we encourage you to visit it frequently.
With many challenges around us and the holiday season approaching, we encourage everyone who can to reach out and help their neighbors. Your generosity can make a real difference for friends, families, and others in our community who are facing difficult times this year.
During tough times, our David Douglas community comes together in support of one another, and that spirit is what truly strengthens our community. It is this resilience that gives us hope for the future. Thank you for your partnership as we navigate these challenges together and work together to support our children and neighbors.
