I don’t have a penny, the next food bank appointment is 30th Sept. I don’t know how I’ll last that long. Any faster ways?
download free food apps like good to go, often times shops in the UK during closing time will punt all the stuff that they normally throw out at the end of the shift on here.
If you live in London you can live off of this stuff, I was eating free sushi and bakery goods a lot when I was skint.
edit:
also look up local churches, sikh ones will feed anyone who walks thru the door.
I don’t live in London, I live in Devon and I already tried the local church, they said no, and were quite rude and nasty about it. Already tried olio and goodtogo, if you don’t live in a city or large town they aren’t much good. Also no sikh temples down here.
tried a mosque maybe?

Dumpster Diving, perhaps?
Dude, wtf, show some respect for the people struggling
Edit: sorry, wasn’t aware of the situation with food waste in other countries
In a pinch this is a viable strategy, particularly at stores and restaurants. They often throw out still good food.
Idk, purely from ignorance, is it the first suggestion you’d give to someone?
Back when I was in school, course load such that I had little time to work, I learned that dumpsters were a viable source for free food. Jamba is the diety of the dumpster, and we would praise the abundance. As an example, I had a friend who had visitors from Russia. I decided to swing by the grocer’s dumpsters, and ‘lo found all sorts of ripe fresh fruit. I took some, and left some for others to find. The Russians were amazed and delighted that there was anything free to be had in the US. Of course we are taught to look down on scavenging, foraging, gleaning. But who teaches that lesson? The owners.
I also learned the saying, “Not everything in the dumpster is for you.” Which teaches the importance of appreciation, sharing, and discernment.
Also, furthering on the “local” aspect of it, finding a food bank or a community canteen (probably not the right name, sorry, I’m not native English speaker), you can probably ask there and they’ll likely be able to give you a better answer than post people here
I have an equally important question: What’s a free way to get fast food?
Announce you’re going by a new name in this store /s
