Question

Where can I get free food?

Your local church.

Answer 2

Hit Costco or Sam's Club on the wknds, they have enough samples to have brunch!

Try a food shelter, food bank, local soup kitchen or your local church.

Answer 3

If your in need ask your church.

Answer 4

Faith Mission, Salvation Army, etc have meals for the homeless. I have heard of people who were not homeless going there for meals too.

Go to the county Job and Family Services office and apply for food stamps.

You can also call 211 to get ahold of First Link help including the food bank (different from the food stamps).

Go to http://www.craigslist.org and put in your state and city and look under "for sale" category of "free" and see if anyone is giving away food. You can also place an ad in "wanted" for food, but I think you have to say you want to buy food cheap (I don't think you can post that you want stuff for free under the "wanted" category.

Flea markets and thrift stores sometimes have cheap food, some is expired but ok. They also have cheap clothes and other usable items cheap.

Also you can try dumpster diving at night behind food businesses or restaurants or groceries, but some of them are locked up or have cameras for security, so it is risky. It is called being a "Freegan" on Oprah. Take a rake and a flashlight and do it early in the AM on weekends to avoid trouble with the owners. I found a sealed jar of Vlasic pickles once, but that is about it. Clothes and stuff in apt dumpsters are easier to find on weekends at the end of the month when people move or are evicted.

For free or low cost healthcare, call the public health department and ask about free or low cost clinics.

For free or low cost medicines, try

Answer 13

Try a soup kitchen or a church.  Failing that you could go into the country and pick wild herbs, fruit etc.  Also fishing, though not from polluted rivers.  Shoot rabbits - but do not trap them, that is cruel.  Pick mushrooms in seasons, but for goodness sake do take an expert.  What they say about mushroom/toadstool poisoning is absolutely true!

Answer 14

If you mean you just want some free food samples, try going to your local Sam's Club, they usually have free samples on the weekends.

Answer 15

as one lady said feeganism. Also if you like going into the woods check our ray mears wild food and country tracks. at this time of yr you can drink the sap from a birch but you must make you dont let it "bleed" to death. in acorn season the acorns can be refined for eating its amazing what you can find. I eat alsorts of "wacky" things (primrose flowers and leaves for 1) havent tried the sap or acorn yet cause of the season but i will do this yr.

Answer 16

any dumpster

Answer 17

Go into the countryside there's loads of it for the taking.... And I don't mean farmers fields either.!!!   On the way to south wales the other day, me and my wife counted 23 Pheasants, 16 rabbits, 1 Mallard duck,  3 Fox,  2 Badgers and several wood pigeons. All road kills.   We only picked up two lovely male pheasants though and eat them for dinner last night.  Its best if you leave them a couple of days to go a bit rotten.. It makes the flesh tastier..  With a drop of red wine to cook them in they were delicious....
