Hello, Im really struggling with money at the moment. Im a single parent to 2 teens and get no support from their father! My freezer is empty, Ive run out of all cleaning and hygiene products and ive tried selling things on vinted but didnt realise you dont get paid instantly, same for ebay. Ive used my 3 foodbank visits and now I dont know what to do as I dont get paid for 2 weeks. I cannot work due to severe Lupus. Are there.any companies.that could help me straight away that you know of? Many thanks

Have a look at churches in your area OP. Many offer Warm Places and free lunches, you just need to let them know you’re coming. I’m so sorry things are difficult, I agree that the local Facebook page may give you some quick results.

As has been said, religious communities so churches, mosques, Sikh temples and others have things set up to feed people in need. Also the Salvation Army.

I'm not in your area but our food bank has an official policy of 3 vouchers a year but unofficially they will carry on supporting people who are really in need so it might be worth giving yours a call.
