Rebecca, since your husband is a veteran, I'd start with your local VA office or a Veterans Service Officer. They may know about emergency assistance programs for utilities, food, and other bills.
For the electric bill, contact Pennyrile Allied Community Services at https://www.pacs-ky.org/ and ask about LIHEAP crisis assistance if you haven't already. For food, check with local food pantries in Hopkins County while you're waiting for income to start coming in.
The good news is you have a part-time job starting this week, so hopefully this is just thing. I'd focus on veteran resources first since those can sometimes open up assistance that isn't available to everyone else.
