I recommend you check out TheFreePizzaDude on Imgur. There is a limit to how often you can receive donations (like once every other month), but they will help with getting you a pizza or even some regular groceries if you ask.

I’m on disability. Watching the prices climb the past few years has been genuinely distressing. I could never afford a full month of groceries but now I can afford even less. Food doesn’t go nearly as far as it should. I find myself having to stretch stuff over days or do what I’m currently doing and just not eat for the better part of a week to save the little I have left.
I am not doing well and this shit is making it worse… I’m honestly afraid.

This is something the government should be doing though, rather than having to rely on charities and kind individuals. In most developed countries, the government has good programs to assist people in need, ensuring they can get basic groceries. The US is an outlier.

I mean the government is doing it, that’s what disability is. It’s just not kept up with inflation in a lot of areas.

What I meant is that the government should provide it and ensure you can actually love off of it.

Don’t be to humble to go to a food pantry. It’s food for people who need it. I’ve used them. I’m not ashamed.
