As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to exact a devastating toll on people across the globe and all walks of life, suffering of all kinds can be found everywhere. In light of this time of historic upheaval, Andisheh Center decided to step in and help the community members by gathering and sharing information about resources that might address some of our needs in medical, dental, transportation, social services or other services. Example:

  • 211 info is a nonprofit connecting people with health and social service organizations. You can call 211, download the app, or visit 211info.org. Translation services are available by phone. 211info serves Oregon and SW Washington.
  • Aging & Disability Resource Connection of Oregon provides information about services to address aging or disability needs. Visit adrcoforegon.org or call 1-855-673-2372.
  • Other resources – based on location and age of the applicants, there are other service centers in state of Oregon. If you complete this form, we will be able to identify the resources in your area and get back to you with more information
