Martha's House Hermiston

04/26/2026

Big progress today! 🙌

We had a great collaboration between Martha’s House and the Umatilla County Juvenile Detention Probation Work Crew. Everyone worked hard all day mowing, w**d eating, cutting trees, cleaning up the front, and spraying for w**ds and insects.

We also cleared out old mattresses from the units and removed a washer that recently went out.

Appreciate everyone who showed up and put in the effort—things are really coming together!

🚨 How to Spot a Toll Scam 🚨
Scammers are sending text messages claiming you owe money for a “toll violation.”

Here’s how to identify the scam:
🔎 Red Flags to Watch For:
• The message comes from a random or unusual phone number or email.
• It creates urgency (“Pay immediately to avoid penalties”).
• It includes a suspicious or shortened link or QR Code.
• Multiple names are used in the message and do not match; i.e, Police Department, Superior Court, State Seal, etc.

💡 Protect Yourself:
• Do NOT click the link.
• Do NOT reply to the message.
• Delete the text.
• Check your account directly through the official toll agency website or app.

Remember: Legitimate toll agencies do not demand immediate payment via random text links.

Please share to help protect others in our community.

🚨 Cómo detectar una estafa relacionada con peajes 🚨
Los estafadores están enviando mensajes de texto en los que afirman que usted debe dinero por una "infracción de peaje".

A continuación le indicamos cómo identificar la estafa:
🔎 Señales de alerta a las que hay que prestar atención:
• El mensaje proviene de un número de teléfono o de un correo electrónico aleatorio o inusual.
• Crea urgencia: "Paga inmediatamente para evitar sanciones".
• Incluye un enlace sospechoso, un acortado o un código QR.
• En el mensaje se utilizan varios nombres que no coinciden, por ejemplo, Departamento de Policía, Tribunal Superior, Sello del Estado, etc.

💡 Protégete:
• NO hagas clic en el enlace.
• NO responda al mensaje.
• Borre el mensaje.
• Verifique su cuenta directamente en el sitio web o en la aplicación oficial de la agencia de peajes.

Recuerde: las agencias de peaje legítimas no exigen el pago inmediato a través de enlaces de texto aleatorios.
