Ok so I am very close to this person who has been through a lot in his life! He is extremely nice and caring just cant catch a break! He has recently been saving up money to start the custody battle to get custody of his little girl and is now facing being laid off! He lives with his family in order to support them & his father is about to get laid off as well! They both have been looking for jobs for a long time with no luck! I wish there was a way I could help them but I just dont have the means! Does anyone know of good websites or ways to find jobs, or organizations to help with bills or food! They really need some support & prayers & I would appreciate any help I can get for this family!

Try your local church and food bank. Your local community resource office should
have phone numbers of organizations that are available in your community.

As far as jobs, try craigslist. Is their a worksource website for your area?

Tell him to go to Pizza Hut and be a delivery driver.
He can make really good money. He will go home everyday with cash in his pocket.
I have been delivering for 11 yrs. It's all I do.

Painting and landscaping are very labor-intensive, but if he can handle it, they do pay fairly well. Lots of people start up their own businesses. Plus he'll be home before the sun goes down. On the other hand, if it rains a lot, he won't be working much.

There are tons of jobsites-i.e., Monster.com.

google employment websites

best of luck to all of them

a local church will have an outreach center to ask for other resources

does he have any skills that he can list in an ad in the paper, i.e., website construction (something that I am looking for help with), etc. while he searches?

call the local State Bar to see if anyone will accept a pro bono case

Here in the Twin Cities, united way runs a phone service that acts as a general clearinghouse for non-profits and agencies who provide support with things like this. Do have your friend call United Way, but don't do it for him!
Good luck, d
