If you're in Central Ohio, call FirstLink at (614) 221-6766; they can hook you up with all the food pantries in the Columbus area. Some of the pantries require you make an appointment through FirstLink if you need more than one day's groceries. Usually you can get a three-day supply of basic staples for 9 meals, plus some household items.

If you live outside that area, you may want to call them anyway and see if FirstLink has a branch or sister organization where you are. Otherwise, call the United Way office nearest you.

Good luck; I hope your bf is able to find work quickly.
