Tough Times
Finding Help in Tough Times
| This website is for people who find they need to ask for help - - people who may have recently lost a job, a home or may be having a hard time making ends meet. Locating such basic resources as food, shelter, employment or health care can mean stumbling through a maze of agencies before making the right connections. People looking for help may not know where to begin. | Local Resources |
| OSU Extension has compiled a list of state resources, community services and information to help people find the help they need in these tough times. The list is not - - cannot be - - absolutely complete. It is meant to help people get started. We will continue to add links and information as it is developed. | Other Resources |
