I don't normally come in this part of the forum but just happened to today.

Also try Jewish Family Services and Catholic Charities. They do not require that you be Jewish or Catholic to assist you. The intake will be similar to Lutheran Social Services.

I don't know where you are, but each of my utilities with the exception of my water company offer assistance programs.

The 2-1-1 phone system is available throughout the country. They can help you locate rental assistance, pet assistance and food/utilities assistance. Call 211 for Essential Community Services | United Way 211
