Lifting Families out of Poverty
A financially stable family gives children the best chance at a healthy, safe, and happy life.
All Oregon children should have a chance to live up to their full potential regardless of where they begin.
Providing smart, limited, and temporary help to struggling families makes Oregon a stronger state, and will help us build a better future for our children.
