I don't know where you're located but working in the non-profit sector I do know that there are resources out there. Is there a food bank in your area? Try the churches too, many of them, in my area anyhow, are offering Christmas baskets. Look up other community organizations in your area in the yellow pages - some may be able to help in ways you weren't aware they could. Your city or municipality may also have community aid that you could try - if they can't help directly, they may refer you to appropriate resources once they are aware of your situation.
