The One-Sheet-Handy-"Where-Do-I-Go-If-I-Have-Need" Resource

This doesn't have all the resources you need in East Multnomah County, (162nd and East), but it's a good start, especially if you're of the very poor or homeless.

If you are a church or service organization, might I recommend that you print this up and hand it out.
