When you’re hungry you aren’t just in need of food, you can also feel down about yourself and your future. That makes everything else more exaggerated, and possibly even worse. You have to be able to feed yourself and your family before you can work on other issues.
That’s why your local VSO, VA, Second Harvest and a host of Community Resources related to Hunger on this site, have so many resources to get you hooked up with some good, wholesome groceries.
That includes sources you can use on a regular basis while they get you help to file a VA compensation claim or appeal or help with training and employment, physical or emotional issues, etc.
In addition, there may also be Sate and Local Government resources for you.
