[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]

Go to your local LDS Bishop.  Check LDS Meetinghouse Locator by entering your address.  https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/maps/meetinghouses/@39.047602,-77.251370,12

The website will tell you which building and the name and email address of your local Bishop.  Bishops can help out anyone with a food order to our "Bishop's Storehouse."  Yes, there are many carbohydrates, but you will be able to get fresh produce, etc.  You do not have to be a member to receive a food order.

The food banks also have beans and other sources of protein like tuna that even your diabetic kid can eat. You may have to cobble together several sources, including the dollar store.[/quote]
