I have no money for the next week and I am starving. I wasn't able to buy any food after I paid my bills and now I don't know what to do because I already went one week without really eating and now I have to go another week! Any advice?

Yes, look up food pantrys in the phone book (or online) and go to one. Second, show up at a friends house about dinner time. Third, go to happy hour where they serve food and get a coke. 4th, relook at bills, what are you paying that you should probably not have if yuo can not eat. Next, get a second job for a few nights a week waitressing, tip money goes a long way to eat.
Good Luck but do some real hard evaluations on how to do a long term fix.

Long term advice: you need to find another job--or an additional one. It sounds like you are not making enough money to be comfortable. Or perhaps you are spending your money unwisely. Maybe you should move in with a friend/family member to cut your rent payment, sell your car to get rid of your car payment (and take public transportation) or cancel your cell phone and cable plans. Also, I hope you are not spending ANY money on alcohol, pets, or other frivolous, expensive things if you can't afford to eat.

Short term advice: buy a bag of rice and a can of beans. Should cost less than a dollar and last you several days. Go to a food bank if you want. Or just "drop by" a friend or family member's house around mealtime.

Call the food stamp office, and see if you're eligible. If you are, you can get expedited food stamps within a couple of days. Food stamps can be obtained by people who's bills are higher than their income

In the meantime, call relatives, check to see if there's a food bank, check with some churches, try the Salvation Army, etc.

You may wish to check with some of the local food pantries in your area, if you live in a larger urban setting. Often, churches are also a good place to start. I know what that is like. I was there a few times. It does suck, and you may feel bad, but don't think like that. It is better to get a few groceries to hold you over than to go hungry. That is much worse. Believe me. I hope that this helps. Good luck.

Call some of your area churches they sometimes feed people or see if there is a soup kitchen in your area.
there are places were you can go and eat or get food you just have to look for them. Don't be ashamed to go because that is why they are there; to feed people.

Well you could beg at a street corner. But I suggest you find an odd job that would allow u to earn some money.

Go get a part time job at a restaurant, sounds like you need to make more money and you get food.

Good luck to you
