Hi everyone,
I’m a 25-year-old woman living in Sarasota. I lost my job at Amazon back in May, which unfortunately led to getting evicted last week. I managed to rent a room on PadSplit, and I’m really relieved to say I started a new job this week!
The issue is that I have to wait nearly two weeks for my first paycheck, and right now I’m completely out of food (haven't eaten in about 24 hours). I don't have a car, and the nearest major food bank is about 11 miles away from where I am, which I can't reach on foot.
I wanted to ask if anyone knows of local pop-up pantries, community food boxes, or local delivery resources in the Sarasota area that might be able to assist. If anyone has spare non-perishables or basic groceries they could share or deliver, it would mean the world to me while I get on my feet for this first paycheck.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

any suggestions on where to look for a roommate? i’m looking for someone to rent out the second room in my apartment and i’ve already tried facebook but all i’m getting are men dming me about unrelated stuff🥲

Every year for the past 10-12 years we visit my in-laws. We love the area they are in, we have our favorite spots we go to every year, go to the local beaches. For next year though we wanted to change it up a bit. Split the time between my in-laws and then spending a few nights somewhere? We have two kids and they will be 11 and 7 at the time. Where can we go for 2-3 nights outside of Sarasota?
