That’s fair and was also a huge contributor for me too. It is okay to sign up for SNAP or EBT or WIC too. It is okay to get food from the food bank. I worked at a school and when the food bank came every month they allowed me to also take food after the kids went thru and that was really helpful. They also had it at the gym I worked at and I tried not to double dip but if they had fresh produce I would take that.
It took me a long time to convince myself it was okay to accept community resources like that bc I could pay my bills etc so I thought it wasn’t for me to benefit from when other people might need it more, but if you apply to WIC or something they’ll give you stuff based off your income and in reality if they give you anything then you’re definitely part of the groups that benefit most from it, so it is okay to accept that kind of help. That’s what it’s there for
