[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 552523, member: 84"] Go to the church and pick up the food. At least there is that source. Around here, most people who go to the food bank find it empty because so many are using it. Supply can't keep up with demand even though krogers brings in a semi full of donations once a month. My kids and I ate off the food pantry years ago for a year. Honestly, they never guessed. I am used to being poor and can make a creative meal out of just about anything. Is your income low enough to apply for emergency food stamps? If you don't know or it is, then do so, asap. (child support does NOT count as family income I believe) Once you do have money for food again, start sale hunting or going to places like sav a lot or aldi's and start stocking staples, long lasting food that is not easy to snack on but will be there should this happen again. Most canned food lasts far longer then the expiration date as long as the can is not dented or bloated. Most dried foods have a long shelf life as long as you have a way to keep mice or bugs out. I know it hoovers that your child support didn't show, I know (trust me I know) times are hard and food prices (as well as everything else) are going up up up. So you need emergency supplies laid into the house should this ever happen in the future. As far as the gas.........would a co worker consider giving you a ride to and from work until you can fill your tank again? If not, ask the church if there is somewhere you can go for gas money for work. Here you go to job and family services and they'll help with gas money. Keeping people in jobs is their goal.
