How to Help When Someone is Upset / Cómo ayudar cuando alguien está molesto

Follow these steps to keep the food pantry a peaceful place for everyone.

1. Listen with Your Heart

EN Let them speak without interrupting. Most people just want to feel heard.

ES Déjelos hablar sin interrumpir. La mayoría de la gente solo quiere sentirse escuchada.

ES Manténgase a una distancia de dos brazos. Esto hace que la persona se sienta más segura.

3. Use "Yes, And..."

EN Don't just say No. Say: "Yes, I hear you, and we are working to make sure everyone gets their share."

ES No diga No. Diga: "Sí, le escucho, y estamos trabajando para que todos reciban su parte."

4. Watch Your Body

EN Keep your hands visible and relaxed. Try not to cross your arms or point your finger.
