I'm not sure the geography of Delaware, a state I assume you can drive across in an hour, but you may want to poke Nichael to see if the Jess campaign wants to do something with this to help them help more people

maybe your next haul will have a bunch of unsold turkeys!

Oh yeah, Nichael's in Wilmington. The church is technically in Wilmington, about a 20 minute drive from downtown. Maybe I'll DM him about it!

They accept cash donations. Most of the perishables are stuff from grocery stores that would be thrown out otherwise. But they could use donations to buy more and higher quality non-perishables! Plus they always need more volunteers. For some reason you're not allowed to volunteer if you go there to get food.

Imma donate to goon fund as soon as it's feasible, LF and C-SPAM have been such a good influence on me, I owe a lot to goons! But of course I will take care of important stuff first. Unfortunately I'm being evicted and need to find another apartment that will accept my subsidized housing voucher by Jan 31st. But I'm sure I can give back a little if I finally get my SSI check again next month!

What a heart warming thread. I’ll be signing up when my direct deposit hits tomorrow night. I’ve been literally starving before. There was a point in NYC when I worked as a cook and I’d take all the food scraps home they’d let me, and my wife and I would basically throw it all in a pot with some water and cornstarch, bring it to a boil, and eat scrap/trash “goulash” with tortillas in our SRO weekly rental.

Bookmarking this thread to pop in and check up on how people are doing.

Well yay, goons! I'm getting my SSI/SSDI again! As sketchy as things got these past few months, goon fund made all the difference. Without it I'd have had to abruptly stop my meds, my cats would have eaten only stolen lunchmeat, and I would have spent Thanksgiving and Christmas alone without heat or phone/Internet. So yeah I'm gonna donate as soon as I can and goon fund is good.

Hearing how helpful this initiative is from you got me to up my pledge. Thanks for stepping forward with your testimony. :) Glad to hear things are looking up.

So, this is extremely embarassing, but I'm a long time lurker going through an extremely rough time and thought I'd ask for some help. Food and toiletries I'm secure enough. I got a kitty, not so much. I'm between jobs and if anyone would mind helping I basically need to keep my net on and possibly a headset for a work at home position I'm trying for. I don't even bother keeping a phone subscription so I'm reliant on wifi. I don't have a vehicle, I live in a small midwest hick town where people treat you like poo poo for minimum wage. I used to do about a decade of factory work that ruined my back and knees (2 knee surgeries and a spinal fusion by age 29) so I had to resign myself to this way of life.

I been around, don't post and mostly hang out with nite crew. Not sure if this is the appropriate place but anything would help greatly. If this isn't allowed delete it, or tell me to and I will. Thanks for listening to me be a bummer.

this is the right place, make a Discord account and add/message Plinkey#8085

since you don't have Platinum here on SA and he'll see what's around to assist.

also speaking to your situation; i know a LOT about work from home CSR jobs, if you have CSR experience and can hack a phone gig, I pretty much guarantee i can refer you to a place I'm working now and get you hired on, it's the most gravy job ever. you can message me on discord too and I'll talk to you about it

Thanks for the lead, I don't have it set up and I'll get to it. I basically just need working asap and its been a nightmare cycle of applying everywhere and getting blown off for like a month then told no longer available. But yeah, I do have tech support/customer service/inbound telemarketing experience and all that.
