Food for Everyone
Affordable and nutritious foods for people with limited budgets include staple ingredients like beans, rice, oats, pasta, and potatoes, as well as eggs, seasonal vegetables, frozen fruits and vegetables, and inexpensive proteins such as canned fish, lentils, and some cuts of chicken. Cooking simple meals from scratch with basic spices and using pantry staples like canned tomatoes and dried beans can significantly stretch food budgets.
Job for Everyone
To find work, people in poverty can use government job sites, local job centers, public libraries, and community support groups to find opportunities and get help with resumes and applications. They should look for roles in sectors like caregiving, local services, or small businesses that are in demand, as well as explore job fairs and networking opportunities. Assistance with skills training, government support programs, and small business development can also provide pathways to employment.
