SNAP in the Co-op Kitchen and Thanksgiving
Use your SNAP EBT benefits for all Co-op Kitchen items through November 20th, 2020!
Recognizing the difficulties in food preparation for families who lost their homes in the local wildfires, the State of Oregon has expanded SNAP benefits to be used for hot foods, like made-to-order and hot bar meals from the Co-op Kitchen, through November 20.
And starting on November 16, you can get an early taste of Thanksgiving as the Co-op Kitchen hot bar rolls out the full Thanksgiving spread.
After November 20, SNAP can still be used to order a "Heat & Eat" Thanksgiving meal — just stop on by the info desk with your EBT card to place your order.
Or you can pick up all the Thanksgiving dishes a la carte from the Co-op Kitchen's Grab & Go cooler.
