Do you or someone you know receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits? These Portland restaurants offer free food and meals to help SNAP recipients during the government shutdown.
Some of these locations require you to show your SNAP card to receive free meals or food items.
All of these deals are subject to change or end due to limited food availability or changes to the current state of SNAP benefits. Please be sure to check in at each location to ensure the free meals and food are still being offered.
Also, many of these locations have an option to donate a meal. If you can, consider participating in community giving at your favorite restaurant below.
Did I miss a local free meal for SNAP recipients? Please send me a message.
