First off, im looking for any ideas on how to get food for me and my wife. I currently got laid off from my job and we are running out of money fast. My new job pays monthly and after all the bills. Rent, car etc I got laid off and left with no money and almost out of food for us.
Any ideas to help?

me and my friend's used to do this all the time when we were in high school. First go to a wealthy neiberhood and go hit up the fast food places go through the drive thru tell them you were in yesterday and you had a big order for work and they forgot what ever u want if they say why did'nt u call just start getting really pissed off and say I was at work i don't have your number on speed dial and if they keep hassling you get really mad and say like i'm really going to make this up to get a couple of burgers what are u guys crook's your going to screw me out of my six dollors what kind of racket are u running here trust me they will give your food by know when done go to dairy queen for dessert use same proccess to get free ice cream and just keep switching restruaunt's and make sure same people arn't working we did this for years before they caught on since fast food has the highest turnover employment rate good luck

You can try and ask for an advance from your new employer. You may try your local food bank or Salvation Army. Do not get discouraged we all have hard times once in a while. If your wife doesn't have a job maybe she can try and get some temp work through an agency.

I feel for you, as I am just coming out of that situations. Other than churches and soup kitchens..there is no free food. I suspect you are not at that point yet....
Learn to use the small amount you have.
Eggs are great...they go along way......as will a loaf of breaad.Not to mention pancake mix.
Churches will help you, even if you don't belong to them. But show them the situation as it is.......
I will also send you prayers and reiki.. also.
God bless and good luck!!!!!

Food Stamps?

Look in the phone for U-Can or FISH or contact a church. You are also eligible for food stamps most likely. The Dept. of Human Resources. Good Luck!!!!!

Contact SSI. Explain your situation to them, then they will refer you to the best department.

Go to the "Free Food Store" - it's somewhere in "Imaginary Land". Oh, and while you're there, can you pick me up an imaginary burrito. Thanks!
