How To Get Food This Week

Basic needs · Better Living Assistance Help Centre

If the cupboard is empty now, do not wait for an application to be processed. Food is the fastest thing to solve.

Today

  • Send us the basic needs form and tick “Food”. Say how many people are in the home and the ages of any children.
  • Dial 2-1-1 for the nearest open pantry and its hours.
  • If your children are school age, ask the school office about food programmes — many run through school holidays.

This month

Apply for SNAP. It takes longer but it is the difference between a one-off box and a monthly budget that works. See our guide to applying for SNAP in Florida.

What we provide

Food, hygiene items, nappies and baby supplies, clothing, school supplies and household essentials, collected from 255 S. Orange Ave., Suite 104, Orlando. Tell us on the form if you cannot travel.
