Applying for food benefits after losing my job (Detroit)

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. Any experience at all would help. The caseworker asked for bank statements too. Is there an expedited option for people with very little income?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

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