There is but it’s not a walk in affair. It has too many people depending on it and not enough food. I’m not exaggerating when I say unless you show up 4 to 5 hours early, there’s a solid chance you won’t be getting anything. It only runs every first and third Wednesday of a. Month, and you need proof of residency, a utility bill, a photo ID, and proof you’re on ebt to get signed up. It’s not a reliable source of food. Once or twice a year If there is simply no other way I’ll take the gamble and wait and hope I get there early enough to get something good, but I usually try to fend for myself.
I live in a very rual area and they have very limited resources for people who need help. We don’t have any public transportation whatsoever. It’s not an easily surviveable place for people in poverty, I’m extremely lucky to have a job out here. I just don’t have the resources to leave. No family, no real friends, no money or savings. It’s a bad situation. I’ve been in it for years.
I appreciate the help and advice, but I’m not a good target for it.
Are there churches that do stuff? Or a Sikh community? My church has a free meal after the last Sunday service and they have a fridge sitting outside their hall where you can leave and take meals.
I don’t want to talk too much about what’s around me just out of data privacy reasons but I appreciate the help. I’ll figure it out. I’ve been living like this for years and I’m fine.

Well that sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. If only we lived in a country that bothers to take care of its people.
