Free food events

Some ODHS offices host free food and resource events in local communities. Everyone is welcome.

SNAP food benefits

SNAP provides monthly benefits to help you buy food. States are unable to issue benefits after Nov. 1, 2025 until the federal government shutdown ends or funding is provided - but you can still apply or renew. Doing this now will help you get your benefits faster when we can send them again.

WIC program

WIC helps children under age 5, people who are pregnant or postpartum, and breastfeeding moms get healthy food and more. Foster parents and relative caregivers of a child under age 5 can also apply for WIC.

Summer EBT

Summer EBT is a grocery benefits program to help families buy food for their school-aged children during summer when school is out.
