What a storm!

People who have lost food because of the storm may be eligible to receive assistance through the state Department of Social and Health Services.

Clients already receiving food assistance must report the loss to their local Community Services Office or Home and Community Services Office within 10 days in order to be eligible for supplemental help. They can also call 877-980-9180 to make a report.

The state is seeking a presidential declaration of disaster, which would make food assistance available to people who would not normally be eligible.

Under the Disaster Food Stamp Program, people are eligible if their homes have been damaged or they have lost income because of a disaster, if they incurred expenses while protecting their home during the disaster, or if they have no access to bank accounts or other financial resources.

To apply for that benefit, go to www.onlinecso.dshs.wa.gov, visit a local office or call 877-980-9180.
