When I was homeless, I ate many free meals at my local Sikh temple (gurdwara). I didn't even know my city had a gurdwara until I heard it recommended as a place to go food. I remember when I first turned up, I felt super awkward (a common feeling if you're often having to rely on the charity of others), but I was made to feel super welcome and it's something I reflect fondly on in what was otherwise an extremely dark period of my life
