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.
