Well what is it that you need food, clothes, presents for kids?
Help could mean a word of advise.
Please explain and I can see who can assist you.

You should start asking churches in your area. Also check with your county government for temporary assistance. There are lots of programs set up to help. My prayers are with you and your family.

If any of you know of anyone who may be in need of food, please share
this information with them...thanks.
You never know who maybe in need. Below is some FYI:

bread, eggs, milk, etc. The Jericho City of Praise on Brightseat Road in
Landover, distributes free food staples every Tuesday and Thursday from
4pm-6pm. They give 3 days worth of groceries at no cost. The only
criteria is that you show your driver's license to prove your Prince
George's County residency. For more information you may call (301)
333-0500 and press "0" for the operator. There are a lot of folks who
need to hear about this 3 days worth of groceries give away. Many are
working families who can benefit from t his wonderful program. Please
pass the word.
Additionally, non-profit organization, "Counting All Children,"
continues to partner with the Capital Area Food Bank and the Prince
George's Community Ministries t o distribute free produce (fruits,

We need more details. How many people are in your family? How many kids, and what are their ages and genders? Are you a husband and wife, or a single parent? Why are you hard up (job loss, skyrocketing bills, etc.)? Are you looking for gifts/toys for the kids, or clothes, or money, or whatever we can give?
Don't post your address or phone number for the public to see, though you might tell us which town or city you're in, or near, or which region of Maryland.
I probably can't help you myself, since my money is low, too. I'll pray for you. Hopefully someone else on this board can help.
You can also try writing to Santa in care of the main post office of your town, or to the James A. Farley Post Office in New York City. Some kind "elf" might pick up your letter and answer it.
I'll pray for you, too. Merry Christmas!

If you and your family have fallen on hard times, i'm sorry but you have waited way too late, organizations like Toys for Tots and like that need to know BEFORE thanksgiving because you know that on thanksgiving they start advertising for people to buy new, unwrapped toys for the children out there that otherwise wouldn't have a christmas. You needed to get on the lists before Turkey day.

Have you tried the Department of Children and Families (Social Services) in your area? If they cannot help you directly, they will refer you to the organizations who can.
