Places that helped me after losing my job - what worked for you?

I want to share what helped me after being laid off as a nurse's aide in San Diego. This is my first time dealing with any of this. 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.

I found free tax help through a community volunteer programme. It saved me a fee.
