I have a job, I go to school. First week of classes I had to turn my tags in due to the state not sending off my insurance check on time and the eventual lapse that occurred. I have to wait 30 days for them to come back before I can go back to work (I'm a delivery driver). I've got all the details hammered out, got a list of food banks that are along the public transit routes and I have a pass to catch the bus for the month to make sure I get to class. Because of labor day weekend however, my newly found resources cannot be tapped until Tuesday. I get a paycheck on Monday from before the above events occurred and that'll hold me over until I get my financial aid check back. So I've had three meals all week and I'm tired of being hungry. If anyone can help, it'll be greatly appreciated.
 
If you need to, go to grocery stores and ask for free samples. Shoot, publix actually makes mini meals around here. BJs usually has a couple of sample stations.
 
Look, I don't usually ask for handouts unless every option was exhausted. So needless to say I doubt my dead father and my crackhead mother have any money they could loan me. I hate doing this kind of thing.
 
Is there a local church in your area? Perhaps you could check with them and get something to eat.
 
I'd hit up the first grocery store you can and just start taking what you need. Food is a necessity of life, much like health care is a right. You deserve it, it's owed to you for free. Just take what you need for free. /s
 
Check the pizza store when it's time to close... they often have to throw away a couple of pizzas anyway.
 
If you want to send me a PM with your address I'll order you a pizza. Let me know what's close to you, Domino's, Pizza Hut, or whatever, and let me know what kind of pizza, or if you prefer something else then send me details. I'm unemployed right now so I can't do anything too extravagant. But I can sympathize, been in some pretty dire straits myself once upon a time, so I'll help ya with a meal if that's all you're asking for.

Send me a PM.
 
Is this a good time to discuss Dumpster Diving?

Pizza places often throw out good Pizza at the end of the night,,
Check right after closing.. it will be on top, (often in a box,,at nicer establishments)

Also other fast food places,,and bakeries.
If there are produce warehouses they will have good (though cosmetically flawed) veggies and fruit.

I would only suggest Road Kill to the skilled,, but that is up to you. ;)
 
Salvation Army.
They'll tune you up,No questions,no preaching,no paperwork.
Been there,done that,in my misspent youth.
I vowed to pay them back 10 fold and I am WAY passed that and,happily,still paying.

Loved hearing that! Thanks for the payback report.
 
Harbor pollack.

Lived half a summer on those things.

Heh - I used to live on blue crab sometimes. It's easier being a hungry 20 year old female, I think. My roommate and I would just go to the bar, shoot pool with a low cut shirt on and drive home with full bellies and doggy bags for breakfast.

Find the nearest church. Share with them your predicament. Just tell them the truth.

I'm convinced that you could still pull that off today.

I would imagine that'd work for guys too.........in the "right" bar..:eek:
 
Check out a local church, soup kitchen, homeless shelter, etc. If you don't want to try any of those you can go dumpster diving behind a grocery store or a bakery (I'm not kidding. They throw out a lot of stuff that is still fine to eat and drink...or at least so I hear)
