Well I called the food bank places and the numbers were either disconnected or the people said there is no food bank here.
So I have to use the rent money to get groceries.
Then I will be late for rent and being late will look bad on my application for a cheaper apartment. even though I have no one to help me move.

I am sorry you are going through this rough bit. Have you called your Town Hall. Sometimes they have numbers of places. also the churches in your area? They often have food donations as well.

Yeah. What i thought would happen is happening. Calling places and they act like your stupid. "there is no food bank here". These places were the agencies given by the food bank website. I will call the food hotline when I get off work. As soon as i get on the phone here someone comes in the office. shitty job

In my state you can apply for food stamps online. Have you looked into that? You can still make a modest income and qualify.

I've been in your shoes. I had to swallow my pride and call the church for a food order on different occasions. They sent two people from the church to the house then gave me food vouchers for the supermarket. Don't spend your rent or you'll be looking for a place to live. Call your local churches. (No I wasn't a church goer either)

I wish I knew a church to call.

Get the phone book out look up church and start at the top and work your way down the list. You need to eat.

Call your city office. then call your county office - Human services. Help is available, we just have to find it. "Do not leave a single stone unturned . . ." An old east indian saying.

If you call the local Catholic Charities they can usually refer you - St. Vincent DePaul

Let your fingers do the walking...Yellow Pages.You do not have to be a member,just have a need.I'm getting worried....hun...get on the phone to churches...really,there are people and churches who will help!
You don't have to wait until Sunday..most churches have staff on hand every day of the week.Well ,maybe not little churches,but a big Assemblies of God or Pentecostal church ,should have food give aways.
Good luck

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
