Kids and me need food in Philadelphia

[ParisF]

Hi, my name is Heidi and I live in Philadelphia. I am in a struggle unfortunately with my bills. I am a home healthcare provider that works 4 hrs., 7 days a week I Philadelphia. I am not receiving anything from welfare or the state of Pennsylvania but 90 a month for food. I am unable to pay my water bill due today or disconnected.
I've been an employ for 2 years with the company I work and still can’t afford regular food for my and my kids. Came across this email address so I am giving it a shot to see what possible help there may be in Philadelphia if any. I'm not used to this as to both parents passed in the last 6 months and I have no family of my own or relatives in Philly to reach out too now.

Hi Robert,
Look like you have a big family there! There are distribution centers in Philadelphia - both the county and city. Charities have food pantries, etc. But quite frankly, you can't be "picky" when it comes to the type of food and taste of it. If you want to feed your kids, and you are struggling, you sort of get what is there, and find more details on places for free food in Philly.

My name is Robert.

My name is Robert. I am looking into get help for my four children that need food. I don't know who to get it touch with or where to turn to try to feed them, as I try pantries here in Philly and it is hard to get food they like. I recently lost my job two months ago and I have been seeking other employment but I have full custody of my children and finding a job to work with my hours of availability has not been easy. My kids are 13 years old 10, 6 & 4. They need healthy food, milk and stuff to grow.
