I mean when there is no way to buy food for some reason. A mouse hanged itself in your refrigerator. And you need to wait a few days or a week before the payday. I can’t clearly explain what I mean in more detail, because now I don’t feel well and think a little badly, but I hope you understand what I mean.

    For anyone in scenarios like this:

    • You likely already know about local food banks, but just mentioning them for thoroughness.
    • Look for local chapters of Food, Not Bombs to find out when they do food distros. Try contacting them via online contact information for direct aid as well.
    • Speaking of, look for mutual aid groups in your area. Some online directories can be found at https://www.mutualaidhub.org/, https://organize.directory/location and https://www.communitycommons.org/entities/edd8457e-d151-441f-9113-f4a4d04e8cea
    • Look for local Sikh temples in your area that serve Langar, which are free community meals available to everyone of any faith.
    • Try asking around for extra produce from people’s gardens on online local groups, especially gardening groups. This might mostly net you copious amounts of zucchini, but it’s still something.
