CHW Irma helped to coordinate a wonderful Mother's Day Blessing Event at Southtown Apartments in Monmouth. This is just one example of the impact that residential services can have in our communities!

Thank you so much to Risen Life Church for assisting in the coordination of this event, including supplying materials and staffing!

We had such a fun time making flower arrangements, jewelry pieces, partaking in crafts with the kids, and showering mothers with prizes! We have a great community.

☀️ ¡El VERANO ya casi llega! 😎

Para ayudar a que los niños estén listos para el clima cálido, las familias que califican recibieron hoy, 15 de mayo del 2026, un pago único de $270 para ropa de temporada en su tarjeta EBT.

Si su familia actualmente recibe beneficios de TANF y estaba recibiendo TANF en marzo del 2026, debería haber recibido este pago.

👉 Revise el saldo de su tarjeta EBT en ebtedge.com para llevar a sus hijos a comprar su ropa nueva.

Oregon ofrece un beneficio para ropa de temporada para ayudar a las familias que reciben TANF a comprar ropa para niños en mayo, agosto y noviembre.
