👉 Farm workers in southern Oregon are facing food insecurity and housing issues due to the Almeda fires and the pandemic 👉 Many farm workers are undocumented and struggle to access federal assistance programs, such as SNAP 👉 A local non-profit, Rogue Food Unites, set up a weekly farmers market to provide free food and support to those affected 👉 Activists are pushing for a bill to set aside state funding for a SNAP-like program for Oregonians who can't access federal benefits due to their immigration status
