Looking for advice and help with food / basic necessities in Brussels
Hi everyone,
I’m a student living in Brussels with my family, and we’re currently going through a very difficult financial period. My mother recently lost her unemployment benefits, and despite working and studying, I’m struggling to make ends meet as well.
We’re currently having difficulties keeping up with rent, bills and basic groceries. With autumn coming and my student working hours being limited, things have unfortunately become harder and we’re starting to accumulate unpaid bills.
I’m not really sure where to turn, which is why I’m asking here.
Does anyone know of organisations in Brussels that provide food parcels, grocery assistance, social supermarkets, free meals or other forms of emergency help?
I’m also open to any practical suggestions that could help us reduce our expenses or get through the next few weeks. Even information about organisations I could contact would already mean a lot.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this or point me in the right direction. ❤️
