Applying for food benefits after losing my job - 7 months and counting

I lost my job as a project coordinator and my household is applying for SNAP for the first time. It has been weighing on me all week. There are 16 people in my household.

Some local food pantries can help while the case is pending. Try calling 211 for one near you.

Ask about expedited service. I was told it depends on how little cash and income you have right now.
