I work for a non-profit in Portland that contracts with the state to connect needy families to resorces in the community. While our jobs seem to be safe (for now) we are really feeling the crunch on behalf of our clients. While unemployment sky rockets so do the number of clients we have asking for resorces. However, with non-profit after non-profit facing cut backs we are running our of resorces to offer. Its a frustrating situation and I wish we had some sort of comfor to offer our clients.
