This community is fairly limited in scope of what it can provide directly to people. Any funds you get here should be seen strictly as a stop-gap measure.

I've mostly been lurking here until recently, and with recent events it's become increasingly apparent to me that while it can provide monetary aid to people in need, there are certain individuals here who need aid that isn't strictly monetary.

This being the case, I would like this post to serve as a compiled list of resources people can utilize in order to access more tangible assistance.

This website can help those who are in need of not only shelter, but also food, clothing, and health clinics:

For those whose concerns are primarily food related:

And if you're struggling with drug addiction:

Also, as I work in a casino, gambling addiction is a common problem with people I interact with on a regular basis. Luckily, I don't have an addictive personality myself, but it's fucked up the lives of a lot of cool people I know. So I'm providing a link to assist people who may have a gambling addiction

If anyone has other resources that can be utilized by members of our community, please drop them down below. I have no idea of the efficacy of these sources, as I have not had to use them myself.

Also, I would like people to avoid any drama in this thread. I want this to solely provide resources.
