Government Programs
The government provides benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program via Oregon Trail EBT cards. WIC (Women, Infants & Children) is a federally funded supplemental nutrition program.
Get more fruits and vegetables when you spend your Oregon Trail Card (SNAP) dollars. For every $1 you spend on fresh fruits and vegetables using your SNAP card, you’ll receive $1 in Double Up Food Bucks, up to $20 per day. It’s a great way to save on fresh, local, and organic produce!
