I was qualified for food stamps, are they relativly easy to get today?
The Pennsylvania Social Services has a program for low income children to provide emergency assistance in the form of cash and food stamps. Part of it is subsidized by the federal government (MY taxes) so I hereby give you my blessing to get BACK some of my money and put it to a good and honorable use! I would be very glad to know I was able to help your children.
When W and I first got married we were pretty broke, with a newborn. I was amazed at the cool clothes you could get at thrift stores for the kids. And kids don't care where they come from, they just like the 'new stuff'!
There are often local food banks. You know, the place where the boy scouts take all those canned goods? I see on line there is a web site with the ability to search Pennsylvania by zipcode HERE
Now you know those Boy Scouts earn merit badges for all the volunteer work they do collecting stuff. You DO want to help them out don't you? Then call the food bank!
I'm sure there's more, I'm sure there are other things. You have a phone. Let your fingers do the walking and call call call!
