Local services for people out of work in Boston after 16 years as a retail manager

I want to share what helped me after being laid off as a retail manager in Boston. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. A food pantry near me has evening hours. Any other programmes worth trying?

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