I have no cash which = no food?

Question

What can you do if you have no cash left at all for 2 weeks untill payday which in turn means i have no food at all, literally i have nothing. I used my last jar, Chicken Tonight as soup yesterday and i have nothing now. Where can i go? What can i do? Do i just have to like it and lump it?

Before you say go buy some bread, i don't have a penny to my name. I don't even need to carry my wallet!!

Answer 1

depends where you live, if in the U.k. most towns have a food bank which gives free food parcels to the needy, please contact the police(ask for duty social worker), c.a.b., or speak to your local vicar(yes really), they'll have the details. Talking of the church - they often give out money to the desperate - and you dont even have to be a believer!

Answer 2

go claim yourself as being a hobo.  

Answer 3

Should've budgeted better.  Churches will give food away for you to bring home, and some have dinners on certain nights.  There my also be food banks in your area.  Check online or with your local Social Services dept.

Answer 4

how are u paying for this internet connection? hahaha nah jks was just tryna be one of those horrible scepticals you always get one of, just for a laugh.

well u can go to the salvation army you should have one they are in every suberb.

or do you have any family or friends that could look after you for the time-being. you could offer to re-pay them somehow.

maybe you could ask to borrow some money off somebody? surely there is somebody around that you know that will help you!

good luck.

Answer 5

I've gotten payday loans before. Just dont go overboard. If you borrow $100, they usually charge $115 to pay it back. I used http://tinyurl.com/cashadvances If you use them, please use referral code: GGYTBJ for the 50% discount They will only charge $8.75/$100

You have to make a payment of at leas the interest after 2 weeks, you can extend it longer if needed.

Answer 6

Sell your wallet, then buy some bread, or just go steal something

Answer 7

take somthing to the p**n shop me and my husband lasted on 4 pounds the other week when we were skint and theres 2 of us we had no food  

Answer 8

Go to different churches. Many have food pantries set up for those in need. Many times your local Department of Health and Human Services will have a list of places that will give you temporary assistance. Also google "food pantries *your city*" and "People Helping People *your city*"

Answer 9

Simply ask family or friends. True friends will help you out. If you don't have any friends, then there is more wrong with your life than just your financial situation. I'm sorry if this sounds blunt, but it's reality. Get your act together. I wish you all the luck in the world. Hopefully you will find help to survive these 2 weeks!

Answer 10

First, apply for food stamps.  If you qualify for it, they can give them to you really fast since you having zero money and zero food is technically an emergency.  Second, try to get help from family or ask a friend for a small loan for some cheap groceries. Third, go to a food bank/soup kitchen.  They will usually feed you for free with no questions asked.  

Those check advance/payday advance places are a scam.  All they do is get people that need money and are poor/broke into a hole.  Every payday you will be paying your loan and getting it renewed.  Try to stay away from that!  

You could try selling some things you are willing to part with on Craigslist or eBay.  It's easy and fast.

Answer 11

Go to your local food bank.  Churches might also help you.  United way or red cross may help.  Maybe you need a second job?

Answer 12

Contact the Salvation Army. They're a great outfit. They'll help.

Answer 13

If you lived near me, I'd just invite you over for dinner every night but since that's not likely, this is my next best suggestion.

Call any local church and ask for help.  Many have their own food banks and can help you directly.  Others will refer you to a church or organization that operates a food bank.  They won't give you money, but they will give you enough food to last until payday.  And next time you have a few dollars extra, think about donating it to one of these places to help the next person who finds themself a little short between paydays.

Answer 14

Go outside, find a corner, and start begging.

Or ask you're friends if you can borrow some money.

Go live with your mum for a while. lol

Answer 15

there is a food bank in your area.and they will give you food.it is usually run by a church.so if you call any church in your area they could tell you where to go.ask about soup kitchens also.good luck.

Answer 16

All for £5-100 theyll sel quick and youll have some money to eat you will. Sell it on free sites:www.sellit-righ.com www.classifeds.co.uk

Trying to help so do it.

Answer 17

phone the rents or the bank for an over draft.

Answer 18

try a local food bank  food stamps sell your computer cancel your internet theres a couple extra meals  

Answer 19

Try the Good Samaritans or a similar outreach program in your area. I know it's hard on your pride to go for a handout, but you're in need, and that's what they are there for.

You could also try hocking a few things to get some bucks to see you through until payday.

What about your family or friends? Again, it's a bit embarrassing to have to ask, but that's what family and real friends are for. One day, they may need you, and you would help them too, right?

Chin up mate... you will find a way. :)

Answer 20

If you have a credit card of any kind, use it. Even department stores often have gourmet food departments where you can get something, or in-store restaurants.

Google the search phrase "food pantry near" and put in your city and state. It will bring up a list of free food places near you. Also try "feed bank near"

You can also try googling "soup kitchen" to find places that serves free food to people.

Surely you live near at least one church or synagogue. Call or go there, tell them your problem and ask if they can help, even if only be referring you somewhere else.

Ask for a pay advance from your job. Explain how bad things are.

If you don't earn enough to be able to eat until the next payday, apply for food stamps. Google the Department of Public Welfare (or just call Information and ask for the number.)

Go to a grocery or restaurant and offer to work for a few hours in exchange for a meal.

Answer 21

Maybe you could pawn your computer or just go to your local church or mission, they should be able to help you out.

Answer 22

I will think to go sit inside the mosque and ask the Imam some food

Answer 23

There are lots of agencies out there that can help, many churches have food banks, and depending on where you live a soup Kitchen may also be an option.  Another possible option, if there is a local restaurant, or you are a frequenter of a local restaurant go to them tell them the situation you are in, and literally work for food, clean out the fryer or clean the dishes or somehting in exchange for a meal or two.

Answer 24

I'd contact your local food bank.  They will be able to assist you for sure!  Or they will refer you to local churches and/or agencies in the city.  A lot of times they don't verify income.  They only want you to fill out a paper. AND THAT'S maybe...

Answer 25

Cant you ask a relative or friend to lend you a few quid to tide you over, i know plenty of people in the same boat as you!!

Answer 26

seriously, check out your local food bank...it's shopping for free. There's a ton of food there for free. And if your affording this internet connection...... I think you need to reevaluate your priorities.

Answer 27

go to your local church or salvation army they should be able to help.

also, you can go to your local welfare building and apply for emergency foodstamps. good luck!

Answer 28

If I was in that situation I would go to my parents or siblings.  If that was not an option, a subshop lets me get subs on credit, so I guess I would eat subs for 2 weeks.

Or I could go to a 2 churches here that help out the needy or try a local non profit that helps out the homeless here.

Answer 29

I wrote a blog about how I made $3000 in extra cash this Summer to take back to school with me.  You can use this online tool in between paydays.

Good Luck!!
