Are you finding it difficult to budget for adequate food? The good news is that you don’t have to choose between three meals a day and keeping the lights on or settle for less than nutritious food. Here are three resources that can help you put food on the table when times are tough.
Shop Sales and Use Coupons
The first thing you can try is shopping smart by taking advantage of sales and coupons. Look for sources of free coupons like websites and dumpsters to avoid wasting money on newspapers. If you find a great deal, consider passing it on by donating to local food banks in New York City.
Visit a Food Bank
Speaking of food banks, they are excellent resources for people who need food help quickly. Don’t worry about having to jump through hoops. Many local food banks in New York City are willing to help with little or no proof of need.
Apply for Assistance
If you think your need for food will last longer than a few weeks, consider applying for government assistance like food stamps. These programs are a great way to help families in need afford nutritious meals.
