441 is not enough per month to live on. Look into food banks and pantries in Florida to supplement the food stamps. Millions of people receive help from food banks every year. A listing of the main places to call or stop by in Florida can be found here, at Florida food banks. Never be ashamed as indicated millions of people turn to these centers.

I have a disabled wife and i work for minimum wage. We hardly ever have any food in our house and rely on others to help a lot. I just found out that i have a severe back condition that requires neurosurgery which i can't afford. Our marriage suffers because of out financial problems which is sad because we were madly in love when we weren't struggling not to say we are not in love now, but we fight a lot and it has to do with money 90 percent of the time. I applied for food stamps and they gave us 41.00 a month and applied for medicaid and they never even gave me an answer. Anything u could do to help would be greatly appreciated. GOD BLESS

Well, hopefully you will find a job soon. The job market is definitely picking up, but so many people still need work. Make sure you use a family plan for your cell phone.
As far as the food, look into programs such as Angel Food. It provides anyone, no matter income, food at about 50% off. Also look into food banks and pantries in your town. Call your local church and/or Salvation Army. Also be sure to call other non-profits, like a community action agency. Many places do give out food in today's day and age, which is a good thing. But you do need to keep calling around for help.

I have been out of work since Oct. 2010. As of yet, I have been unable to obtain a new job. My criminal background has seen to that. My wife is also currently seeking employment, to no avail. My family has used up my 401K. My family needs helps with food, but I am also unable to take care of rent or utilities. We have cell phones, but no home phone. Using wireless produced by the apartment complex.

Why are you going in circles on the site? Did you try the navigation bars on the left side?
For free food, use this resource. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/food_banks.html Just select your state.
As far as the medications and prescriptions, then use the navigation bar as well on the left margin. There are programs for free prescriptions and medications, from non-profits, national groups, and even pharmaceutical companies.

There are also government food assistance programs, like TANF programs or SSI. And the new increase in food stamp benefits will help many people in need. Contact your local government,
