Applying for food benefits after losing my job - what worked for you?

I got a notice asking for proof of income and I am unsure what to send. I worked as a pharmacy technician before this. There are 7 people in my household. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

Take photos of everything you send and write down the date. I had to resend one page and the record helped.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
