Anyone who thinks illegals don't get welfare and food stamps, are either lying to themselves or they don't live in an area with illegals. They get more help then an actual citizen can get.  In Mn. we were just sent a letter from the state a couple of months ago, telling us that they were not going to be giving Illegal immigrants benefits anymore. Many illegals have American born children and they just get benefits in their children's names now.\nIf you are in line at the grocery store behind a couple who can not speak English and they buy $500 worth of groceries on an EBT card, chances are they are illegal immigrants on welfare.

Social Security is a Federal program.  Contact the local district office for Social Security and they can help you figure out what you will be able to get.  Check the "Government Pages" section at the beginning of the phone book for their contact info.

Contact th Social Security to check into SSI and the county or state welfare agencies for emergency aid.  They also can help with food stamps, medical care and possibly housing.   If the person is a vet, contact the Veterans Administration to see if they may qualify for any benifits.  State and Federal legislators can often help you sort through benifit programs also.  Good Luck!

EXACTLY! When I was younger I used to feel sorry for the people on the streets... I never gave them money but I did drive through a fast food place a couple of times and buy them food and go back and drop it off. Then I seen library park in Phoenix, AZ., and the food lines, etc! The only reason a person is homeless is because they choose to be! We have an overabundance of help programs and some states even have welfare for single men! I live in a city where there are an extreme amount of people getting SSI and Social Security and working (or hustling) under the table for cash and they live much better or at least have many more $$ flow through their hands each month than alot of people. I don't believe that drug addicts and alcoholics should be eligible for these benefits... In addition, I think the funniest thing I have seen is a huge man walking into the grocery store in the middle of the afternoon with his food stamps going to buy groceries.... instead of giving him food stamps and a check... make him get off his duff and work... then we won't have to pay for his stomach staple proceedure either! A friend of mine that is a millionaire went to our local Dr. that has been doing all of those proceedures and he wanted to have it done. He carries private blue cross and the Dr. would not even schedule him for a interview because he didn't have title 19.My friend told the Dr.s office that he has cash...... they said they couldn't take cash because in the case of complications it can run upwards of $100,000.00 again my friend said.... I have cash. They just told him they were sorry they couldn't help him.... however, I personally know 7 people that have had the surgery lately and another couple that are scheduled for it and they are all on welfare! Now if that ain't something! Now don't get me wrong... we do need programs that can assist.... but they need to know when enough is enough and their is a big difference between a hand up and a hand out!

My brother in law is homeless (by choice because he doesnt want to pay child support).  I know he gets food from the food kitchens but I dont know if they are supported privately or by the government.  I know he gets free medical becaue he was in the hospital for 2 months (liver problems due to alchoholism) and he didnt have to pay a penny. I know when its cold he just stays at shelters which are free (Im not sure who pays that). But basically he gets free food, medical and shelter.  What more should be done for him?\n\nI guess the governemnt give him a free car and pay for his gas.

The kinds of food I missed couldnt be sent. I craved Taco Bell.. But good luck sending that. \nThings to send are dried goods. Crackers, Triskets, or similiar. Cans of cheese, and beef jerky... Basically anything, that can give quick energy and is a quick snack to eating a full meal..

Knowing what state you are in would be helpful, but that you have access to the internet, you should visit the link for your state's Dept of Health and Human services and look under the FAQs page for TANF and food stamp assistance

For each bambino they pop out, they get a bigger welfare check and more food stamps.\n(and you see them leaving the welfare office in a tricked-out $50,000 truck!)\n\nFreakin pitiful!

Ok, first go to your local chapter of United Way. They can help get you in contact with Meals on Wheels who help out very low income families with lunches,and they can help you get in contact with your local food bank.\n Here in Texas,we have an organization called Elf Louise who in turn sponsors the Marines- Toys for Tots campaign each year gathering,wrapping and  giving toys to children of low income families.
