Hello,
My name is Van and I am reaching out as a student of Illinois State University. I need assistance as soon as possible. I need food and wondering if I get EBT can I buy fast food in my area, as a college student?
If I cannot make up $500 in the next week, I will be homeless and hungry
If there’s anything you can do at this time, I would appreciate it more than anything in the world to get me some food - even fast food.
Hi Van,
Try the
Restaurant Meal program in Illinois. That is what you want to look into for your area. There is also statewide info here.

Hello, my name is Adam and I'm trying to find some help with food (ideally fast food) because it's been really tough. We have a little money and EBT cards to help pay for it. Its been hard the past few months especially with my daughter. She has anxiety and panic disorder and fast food seems to calm her, but we can’t afford it.
We've been in and out of the hospital in my city too frequently because of the anxiety. We're here at the hospital as we speak and I don't have any help to pay for it or to get her fast food here which makes her smile. Please understand it's hard for me to ask for help especially if I'm the helping others. I have EBT food stamps now and that bothers me now because I can't help others. But someone mentioned to contact you guys so here I am and literally praying every day for help, thank you

Hello,
The Fast food restaurants are mostly franchise. While only some states allow EBT to be used at them, it still depends on the individual fast food place whether they take EBT or not. But here is more information on EBT at restaurants, including fast food.

Hello
I need assistance to my current circumstance. I am over 65, live in Atlanta and get food stamps and have an EBT card. I have been self-sufficient for as long as I remember but not anymore, and I can’t even afford fast food which was my one treat for myself. I have worked hard and tried everything to keep a positive outlook on any circumstances that arise.
In dire circumstances now. I need money for my food and bills and also want to know if I can use my EBT card to buy fast food? Any fast food restaurant would do, but I live within walking distance of a McDonalds.
No one seems to want to help me. It is easy to realize who can step up, among friends, to come to your aid. It may be too late to realize friends are in simple digits.
