Talk to local churches. Go to a food bank, go to your local welfare office and see what services you and your family qualify for.

if you ask social services, they should be able to help provide some stuff too - they have programs where families/people donate, so they may have some stuff they could donate to your family if you ask for the assistance.

Churchs and other organizations though may be your best bet for immediate help.

Call 211. They should be able to direct you to your local services. They would have the listings for food banks, rent, and utillity assistance. Have you applied for state insurance or medicaid? You should also see if you qualify for food stamps through your state social services.
