Local services for people out of work in Madison after 17 years as a web developer

A neighbour pointed me to a programme that I wish I had known earlier. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. A food pantry near me has evening hours. Has anyone used the tax clinics?

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.
