It's called Mechanical Turk and it's run by Amazon. Don't turn away and get discouraged in the beginning. You have to do some crappy work (like transcribe receipts) for pennies when you start, but once you build up experience there you will have a lot more offered. It"s good for weekly gas money. They can pay you direct to your bank account.

Craigslist is scary, but another poster recommended meeting up at a gas station. You get cashvfor your stuff, you fill your tank. A lot of people do meetups in police department parking lots.

Use the $23 left for gas. If no gas is preventing you from job searching, then investing that money into your gas tank can help you get to interviews.

Sign up for Indeed.com and similar job sites. You just need to enter your application information once and then you can apply for a whole bunch of jobs.

Saint Vincent de Paul Society. Every Catholic Church has info on it.

If there is a YMCA near you, you can apply for financial information for a membership. You mentioned upthread that you worry about having a job if you can't shower. The Y has showers. In your situation, you would qualify for an extremely discounted, or free, membership. I am quite poor myself, but both me and my husband work and have income. Our monthly fee for a family membership is $7.00 via their financial assistance program. It's worth looking into.

I have been in hopeless places and have had many doors slammed in my face. I know the frustration of not being able to find work despite everything, but you have to keep fighting. I know what it's like to say, "yes, but..." When people give advice or try to help because it's something I have already tried and failed. It is frustrating and demoralizing, but you have to keep the chin up and keep fighting. Don't give up.

You may want to look into animal shelters and rescues to see if they have any resources for providing pet food to low income people.
