Community Action Agency can help with electric bill, food, and I'm sure a lot more. Local churches often run food banks and can provide temporary support (if you're LDS I've heard they have exceptionally good systems for this).
And I mean absolutely no offense by this, but if you're working full time and can't pay rent or buy food, where is all of your money going? Perhaps a financial counselor can help you better delegate your money.

If you can't get help from Public Assistant because you make too much money, here are a few tips...
1). Downsize on your apt if you're paying too much rent
2). Go to court and see if you can get a referral for a one-time shot for your rent to be paid if you're backed up. (Doesn't matter how much you make...If you're on the verge of being put out they will pay it)
3). Walk places instead of using Mass Transportation
These are different things you can do to save and also have extra money

Try social services they might can help. Imean they have to help you in some way surley. Ask about hud which helps pay for your rent and i think some on power. Ask about food stamps and even food bank. see if there is an angel ministeries around you it cost like 20-25 to get a good size box of food.

Well, depending on what state you live in, if you're a single parent you should be able to get some sort of assistance with groceries (it's called WIC in Missouri) depending on the ages of your children... Also, depending on what state you're in, you should be able to get some form of Medicaid for your children... I would start with the government website for your state. Usually, you can find SOME info there. Also, check out the child and family welfare department, sometimes calle DFS (division of family services)... The health and welfare of children is high priority in most states, you should be able to qualify for SOME assistance somewhere...
Good luck!

If you work full time and can't get by, you are either a. not making enough money or b. spending too much money. Since the gubment cut you off, it's time to look around and figure out where all your money is going and start living within your means.

Your local Job and Family Services, has to be able to assist you in getting help. Try community action, also if you have kids they have to off some assistance!
