[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there anybody here that would be willing to help our family with groceries? I have three teenagers and my husband has a chronic and has been out of work for 4 months. We have been living week to week, our bank account is frequently overdrawn. Unfortunately our family is not able to help (we’ve helped my MIL even when we couldn’t afford it).

A gift card to a grocery store, I’m not asking for someone to send a random stranger cash. Food Lion, Walmart. Please? [/quote]

I’m sorry for your situation, pp. why not head to a food bank? [/quote]

I can’t stock up food from the food bank. And the one here in our county will only let you have three bags. I have been there. Several times over the past few months. And it’s really unfortunate because they only have non perishable stuff and one of my kids has Type 1 diabetes. It’s hard to eat healthy from a food bank. The soups and cereals and starchy stuff really hiked his blood sugar up, even though he active in sports at school. I wish food banks were able to offer healthier options. [/quote]
Can you post what area you’re in, so people can help recommend possible resources?[/quote]

I smell a scammer.[/quote]

I’m not a scammer. I wish I was. Find someone on DCUM that can vet me. I’m not a scammer. And I’m also not in DC.[/quote]

Your child should qualify for free food at school. If your bank account is frequently overdrawn, caronavirus isn’t going to change that. A gift card or some food won’t change that. This is a chronic problem you need to address. You should be seeking help in your local community. [/quote]

Why aren’t you going to the food pantry more often?  You need to secure some local help and assistance. The longer you wait the more of a problem with have with bills and needs piling up. Stop surfing dcurban and start looking for ways to actively help yourself. Sending you cereal or dog food or a $50 gift card helps you very, very little. It is easiest because you do little to get the help but it helps the least in solving the problems you have in any real way. [/quote]
