Local services for people out of work in Birmingham after 12 years as an insurance claims processor

I want to share what helped me after being laid off as an insurance claims processor in Birmingham. It has been a long 17 weeks. 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.

Thanks for this. The library also had printing and a quiet room that I used for phone interviews.
