Members responded to a question about food insecurity by sharing a wide range of resources available across the United States, including local food banks, church pantries, home delivery programs through organizations like Walmart and regional food dispensaries, and mobile food trucks that visit different communities on scheduled routes. Several members mentioned practical tools that have helped them access food, such as health insurance UCards that provide monthly grocery credits, connecting with medical case managers who can assist with food bank referrals, and specific resources like the LA Food Bank pantry locator and Feed My Sheep mobile pantries. A recurring theme was community members' determination to give back even when facing their own challenges, with several expressing gratitude for the support they've received and commitment to donating food so that children and others don't go hungry.

For those who are homebound please look for home deliveries in your state. Walmart does team up with the Great dispensaries of every state. here in Illinois we have the great dispensary of Illinois in Kane county of which there is home delivery for those who need it. Please reach out 🙏❤️🤟🌈

I’m Not in Boise anymore… but I refuse to update my current location at this time. The state of Idaho has eliminated ALL funding for all things HIV related, from food to HOPWA. If you are considering a move to Idaho, I beg you to reconsider!

I haven’t used a food bank. I am donating though I had to donate some things I had in here my turkey. I’m not gonna be cooking a turkey so I decided to donate. I’m picking up stuff at the grocery store also because you see I use food banks through fahass and they helped me a lot. I got some pretty good food so I’m just trying to get back right now and I realize I can’t see children not eating. I will not deal with that so I will be buying some things when I get some more cash, I bought a bunch of cereal and stuff like here for children, and I’ll try to buy some cold stuff too at this time. I guess we all have to pull together though it’s a mess but the only thing that saves me thank God is my health insurance. I’m on United health and I have the Ucard and that supplies me with at least two $235 00 worth of for my light bill or groceries and I use it towards Groceries. you have to use the card though before the month runs out before recharge itself and that seems to help me pretty much.
