Where I live we can get help from our state, either in the form of a food card if we don't make enough, and some may even qualify for other programs. We even have food trucks that come around where I live to donate food to needy families. Do you ever go to food pantries for example, to get some free food if needed? I have done it in the past when money is tight and we can't afford to get food. Sometimes these food pantries or food trucks help people survive another week or more.
