medical services, legal assistance and many other types of services.

try the closest agency first. 

2. Look under “Emergency Services” in this booklet for the names of each agency. Be sure to tell 

them you have young children in your family. 

3. If you don’t get food stamps and are out of food, call or go in person to the local food stamp office 

and ask for emergency help. If you have recently lost your source of income you may be eligible 

for immediate help (within 1 to 5 days) in the form of food stamps. 

4. Immediate help (approximately 7 days) go to the local DHS office and ask about “Pre-TANF” 

benefits. You may be able to get help with rent, utilities, etc. 

¿QUE PASA SI NO TENGO COMIDA O DINERO? 

1. Existen varios lugares a los cuales puedes llamar por comida. Muchos de los lugares requieren 

que tu recojas la comida, para ello, trata de buscar la más cercana a tu casa. 

2. Encontraras, en este libro, los números de las agencias bajo el nombre de “Servicios de Emergencia.” 

Asegúrate de decirles que tienes niños pequeños. 

3. Si usted no recibe Estampillas de Comida y no tiene alimentos en casa, llame o vaya en persona 

a la Oficina de Estampillas de Comida Local y pida ayuda de emergencia. Si usted perdió sus 

ingresos es posible que califique para la ayuda inmediata (de 1 a 5 días) en la forma de estampillas 

de comida.

что сообщили им, что Вы имеете маленьких детей в вашей семье. 

3. Если Вы не получаете продовольственные талоны и не имеете еды, звоните в местный 

офис продовольственных талонов, и просите об экстренной помощи. Если Вы недавно 

потеряли источник дохода, Вы вероятно имеете право на немедленную помощь (в 

пределах от 1 до 5 дней) в форме продовольственных талонов.

ЧТО, ЕСЛИ СЕРВИСНАЯ КОМПАНИЯ УГРОЖАЕТ 

ОТКЛЮЧЕННИЕМ ЭЛЕКТРИЧЕСТВА? 

1. Если Вы получили 72-х часовое уведомление об отключении электричества, Вам нужно 

позвонить в компанию и попробовать подписаться на временный платежный план . Ваш 

полный платеж будет разделен на 12 частей. 

2. Отключения електроэнергии не произойдет, если ваш доктор или же медсестра 

напишет сервисной компании, что отключение електроэнергии подвергнет опасности 

здоровье кого либо в доме. Если Вы имеете больного члена семьи или ребенка, 

позвоните вашему доктору и просите о помощи. 

3. Если эти два шага не разрешат вашей проблемы, Попробуйте позвонить в один из 

следующих агентств для финансовой или юридической помощи: 


211 (информация/направления) 211 o (503) 222-5555 

Legal Aid (503) 224-4086 

Snow Cap (503) 674-8785

Помните, Вы должны действовать быстро и входить в контакт с сервисной компанией 

немедленно, чтобы предотвратить отклучения электричества. На много труднее произвести 

подклучение заново, чем сохранить его. Спросите у вашего учителя или домашнего 

визитера о других службах.
