Food Hero was a SNAP-Ed program through the Oregon State University Extension Service designed to help people in Oregon budget for and make nutritious and tasty low-cost meals. It also provided recipes using ingredients commonly found at food banks, solutions for people receiving SNAP who might have specialty dietary needs, and gardening tips for families to grow their own food.

Even though the federal H.R. 1 bill ended funding for SNAP-Ed programs across the country in September, the Food Hero archive remains available for anyone to use. Check out https://foodhero.org
