The Salvation Army gives dinner and breakfast but you’re out on the streets during the day to go to the local soup kitchen. Depending on the S.A., you may be sent out with a snack to take with you. http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/www_usn_2.nsf/vw-dynamic-arrays/ACEBE360E86E201A8525784C006FE670?openDocument&charset=utf-8

United Way First Call For Help http://www.211.org (or dial 2-1-1) acts as clearinghouse of resource information for those in need including shelters, soup kitchens, food banks, clothing banks, transportation resources, medical care and counseling free or sliding scale, community centers, etc

If you are accepted intp a homeless drug/alcohol treatment program, then, you’ll receive more benefits as participants generally have to earn privileges to leave the building/grounds. You’ll get your meals. Once you are allowed to seek work, you’ll be given a bagged lunch. Most have a waiting list to be approved for the program.

Transitional Housing also requires an applicaton. Typically 3 meals a day are offered and although residents have requirements to meet, like job search, they aren’t locked out of the building during the day. In fact the residents generally have their own space.
