Pregnancy, Postpartum & Parenting in Douglas County

Federal judges ruled that the Trump Administration must at least partially fund SNAP during the federal government shutdown.

What you need to know:

- November SNAP benefits have not been issued yet. The federal government has not released the funds to the states yet.

- You may not get your full November benefits right away. The Trump Administration is only partially funding November SNAP benefits for now. We hope that we will still be able to issue full November SNAP benefits when the federal government shutdown ends, but we will need direct federal approval.

- SNAP benefits have never been paused before. Some states and vendors, including Oregon and our EBT vendor, don’t currently have systems that can send partial benefits. We are already working on updates so we can send the partial benefits when we get them.

- Watch out for scams! We heard that, since the court rulings on Friday, some people have been seeing text, email, and social media posts telling them to click a link to get their SNAP benefits. Do NOT do this. It is a scam. Only trust information about your benefits from official ODHS sources.

We know this situation is stressful. We are working to get answers and will share information as quickly as we can.

Harry Potter fans are invited to Roseburg Public Library from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26, for a celebration of Hogwarts, magic and the power of imagination.

You’re invited to dress up and join library staff for activities, trivia and prizes.

The fifth annual “Harry Potter Day” will transform the library into a fantasy world with hands-on activities such as molding a miniature mandrake plant that does not scream as loud as in the books, creating a snowy owl at “Eeylops Owl Emporium,” completing a transfiguration spell to make a keychain, catching a flying key to make a necklace and, of course, making your own wand.

The activities range in difficulty, and some take more patience than others.

At 11 a.m., Wildlife safari staff will offer a live animal demonstration with critters featured in the “Harry Potter” series like snakes and rats.

Parking is available at the library, 1409 NE Diamond Lake Blvd., with overflow directly south at the Douglas County Courthouse complex.

All attendees aged 18 and under who visit before 12 p.m. will get a ticket for the Harry Potter-themed quilt drawing. This year’s prize is a gorgeous quilt designed and created by quilter Ashley Oberg.

The quilt will be given away at 12 p.m., and the winner must be present.
