Places that helped me after losing my job - any advice?

I found a few free services in Austin that I did not know about. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. A food pantry near me has evening hours. Has anyone used the tax clinics?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

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