I don't like asking for help but because our rent and security deposit was a big chunk of our money and no extra money until next month I had to ask for a little food help in my friends Facebook group. So far 3 people have dropped off donations this morning and more to come. We don't get food stamps because we over qualify according to the state but whatever. Hopefully our deep freezer comes soon because I am going to need it. My town helps people in need and last time I asked for this type of food help was 2 years ago this year. I am too far from the food pantry now but thats ok. I usually shop with extra sales money and what not but its been slow too. I am glad I have a good community that helps and I will also be doing the same in return when people ask for food help. I am good on that. Well, later now....

That stinks you're to far from a food pantry. If you can't get food stamps you likely couldn't get anything from the food pantry as well as they run off the food guidelines. Look up if there are any mobile food trucks near you that you could go to they are a huge help and give more then food pantrys do. They also have the same guidelines though income amount as the food pantry. Look up idea for very low cost meals. Ramen noodles with some mixed vegetables etc.

Call the churches or dial 222. There's probably a manna there and they help
