I have had a prolonged period of unemployment just trying to find a job in the current market. I just got hired on at a new job but wont see a paycheck for about a month. I have less than 20 bucks in my account to buy a month of food.

My loca small town food bank isnt stocked well and I can only use it every two weeks. For example I got a few cans of soup, a loaf of bread, some vegetables i had to eat immediately because they were so close to spoiled and then a tray of grocery store cookies.

I already used my 3 months of link while unemployed need to see about trying to get it reinstated once i actually start my job, hoping that can come through but until then im worried.

I need as much advice on how to buy food for a month while having a physically demanding job to go to .

So ive hit a bit of a rough patch in life. Was laid off, took much longer than ever before to find work. Finally got a new job but I wont see a paycheck for a month and got less than 20 dollars to my name.

I've gone to my local food bank im in a small town thats really all there is and they did not give me much as a single household was a couple cans of soup, a loaf of bread, half rotten vegetables i cooked immediately and some of those grocery store cookies. I can only visit twice a month and im really struggling to see how to make it through. I checked for a local Sikh gudwara place and its not reachable by public transit its outside the city limits I have no way to get to it.

Could use some good advice on what to do in a smaller town that doesnt have the resources of bigger cities. I had link while unemployed and used the 3 months up im hoping once I start working I can get it on at least temporarily but im hungry now and need tips!

Sorry if I used the wrong flair in my post also it seemed appropriate
