Free resources I wish I had found sooner - what worked for you?

A neighbour pointed me to a programme that I wish I had known earlier. I worked as a security officer before this. A food pantry near me has evening hours. What else is out there?

The job club at my workforce centre introduced me to two people who later referred me.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
