[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 491249, member: 59"] Kathy is every resident in this halfway house on their own for food or do they buy food and share or make dinners for the residents? In difficult child's first sober house they did not have to buy any food. There were approx 24 women living there and every omonth they rotated who cooked. They got donations of food from local businesses and food banks and people often dropped food off for them. It was a huge relief to us and saved us a bundle. I would often go to costco and pick up some bulk items and bring it there. Last summer I bought several huge packages of ground beef and a ham and gave it to them. If each resident has to buy her own food that would get very expensive quickly. Jobs are very hard to come by especially in retail right now. Is the halfway house helping with any leads? Through the sober community and AA meetings she should be able to get some ideas on where to look. It's very common to have several sober girls working at the same place. There are even sober employers who will hire people from the sober houses. She should check around and ask. Some of the women difficult child knows work at telemarketing jobs. I know its not ideal but it's a job and it gives you something for your resume. Glad to see you back. Nancy [/QUOTE]
