Maybe this is a scam, I don’t know, but I have a little time to kill, so:
What part of the state are you in? Knowing that will let people make suggestions that you can actually drive to. Are you still working? How have you been eating since you lost the house last month?
Give us a some more information, it’s hard to give advice with what you’ve written here.

Sorry I should’ve added more info. Im in Waterbury. I am not working but I had an interview at Walmart yesterday so I think I should be working soon. I used to eat at least 2 times a day before this happened but lately it’s been slipping my mind to eat. So I’d say about once within 2 days something small if I can afford it. I’ve been getting headaches and have been feeling dizzy when I stand up fast. I forgot the name for the word.

There is a soup kitchen in Waterbury. that according to their website is open for breakfast and lunch. You may want to consider visiting them until your Walmart job starts.

You could try going to the American Job Center in Waterbury, the folks there can connect you with services around you (housing, food, job search assistance). They also have computers you can use to look for jobs, apply, and update your resume, etc. There are a lot of folks struggling right now but these services are free.
It’s at 249 Thomaston Ave, look for the small blue awning on the side of the building.

I looked them up. They are closing soon so I will try tomorrow. Access computer would definitely help. I do need to update my resume. So thank you kindly

When you go in, let them know you’re there for employment services and ask if you can speak with a career counselor. Then let that person know your full situation and ask if they can make referrals for you (for housing assistance, food, etc). They are mostly CT DOL staff in there but there are partner agencies who can help as well.
Good luck.

There’s a soup kitchen near Baldwin street I tried to make it to but I found out about it too late. So I’m going to try to make it tomorrow
