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 have a final pay stub, a termination letter and my unemployment approval. What did you submit and how long did approval take?

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.
