I need help stretching my last 90$ as far as I can until the end of the month. I am totally blind and have no one to help me get to a food bank. I live with my partner, who is also visually impaired. We live near a Safe Way. My partner can cook just fine. Any tips are greatly appreciated. There appears to be no food banks that deliver in my area. I am trying to reach out to my local food share program. Thank you.

Hello all. I posted a few days ago about access to food banks as a blind person. I appreciate all of you who responded. I am going to call my local food share organization and set up transport as suggested. Thank you all. I took the post down because I was so embarrassed. Have a good day.

I am totally blind. I am so sorry this is so long. Hello all. I'm getting way in over my head and don't know what to do. I'm on SSDI, and get approximately a thousand dollars a month. I live with a room mate, and we split rent and utilities. Because I am paying, "very little" in rent, they gave me at least $168 in food stamps, and that was just enough to get me through two weeks of food. The rest of the time, I use my left over debit money. When I run out of money, I can get my mom to help me for a week. My food stamps just got cut, and now I get $115. I only took one trip to the grocery store, and didn't even get all I needed. The money just slipped through my fingers. Not literally. I have no money left. No debit money either. My parents cannot help me this month. I struggle with orientation and mobility. I cannot travel safely on my own. I use lyft some of the time. So there's where a lot of the debit money goes. What can I do? I didn't want to go to the food bank and have to cary a big box on the bus. Is that what I have to do? I can use paratransit, but that costs money too. I also have to schedule the ride in advance, and I don't know how long the trip will take. Meals on wheels costs money. I don't know of any place in my area that delivers food boxes. What can I do? I don't know where to go. I told my case worker at the Oregon commission for the blind. I told a social worker. No one is giving me any advice. I know that's not what they're for. I just need some help. Thank you for reading.
