$300 certainly is not enough for three grown people. A 100 bucks s month isn’t enough. Food bank? I think you’d qualify.

I think I got confused because you said your husband’s mental health won’t allow him to use the stove so I wondered how he cooks. Mind you, one can cook without stove, it’s just a little hard. I still think that you need some type of care team to help all three of you to figure out some type of food routine.

Do you have a walker or a cane to get around? With a Walker you might be able to move around. I have a tiny kitchen but I could squeeze Walker there if need to and hold on to it for balance

We've tried a cane it's to unstable and a walker I can't push/control with one hand. He can use the stove. He can't go to the store it's too overwhelming.

We do use food banks. They have really good ones with fresh vegetables and fruit that they grow on top of the hospitals.

Hi Victoria’smom, I’m sorry for your troubles. I’m curious about your lack of eligibility for meals on wheels. Since your husband is in his 60s, he should qualify, plus your mobility issues should qualify you as well even if you’re not 60. It may be something to double check? Good luck!
