Free resources I wish I had found sooner - 14 months and counting

I want to share what helped me after being laid off as a line cook in Dallas. This is my first time dealing with any of this. A food pantry near me has evening hours. What else is out there?

Call 211 to hear about local help with food, rent and utilities. It is free and open at all hours.

I found free tax help through a community volunteer programme. It saved me a fee.
