Stand in the Gap for Our Neighbors
Families across Coos and Curry Counties are still feeling the strain.
While the immediate threat of a federal shutdown has passed, the underlying challenges remain. Rising food prices, high housing costs, and limited access to affordable groceries in rural communities continue to put pressure on households across the South Coast.
Recent changes to SNAP, including stricter work requirements for some adults, are adding to that strain. For many, the support they once relied on is harder to access or no longer enough to make ends meet.
Here, a single unexpected expense can quickly turn into a crisis. Choosing between groceries, rent, or utilities is a reality too many of our neighbors face every day.
At South Coast Food Share, a program of Oregon Coast Community Action, we are seeing more people turn to local food pantries and meal sites for help. Many are working families, seniors on fixed incomes, and individuals who have never needed assistance before.
That is why we are continuing the Stand in the Gap Fundraiser, with a goal of raising $100,000 by June 30, 2026.
This funding allows us to keep shelves stocked with nutritious food, support local food pantries and meal sites, reach rural communities, respond quickly when families experience hardship, and ensure dignity and consistent access to food.
When systems fall short, community steps in. Together, we stand in the gap.
