food banks will get you food.
baked beans, bread, pasta and rice are pretty cheap food to get.0 -

Definitely ask a food bank for help. And also baked beans value bread and homemade soup will help to fill everyone up xMe debt free thanks to MSE :T0

My husband doesn't have a current account just a cash card account and his salary is paid into my current account. This is due to problems with gambling when we first got together. Organising our money this way really helped at the time and we have just never changed it back again. But pleased to say no gambling or dishonesty for many many years now xMe debt free thanks to MSE :T1

it is a bit naughty that they haven't given him notice of this.
Could you get him to open a bank account with Starling / Monzo so he has access to one asap so he can get paid?LBM Debt Total : £48,326.50

Can he ask his employer for a cash advance, even if not his full wage, due to hardship?For food suggestions, Tesco do reductions in our local store around 6pm and you can pick up a pack of bread rolls for about 10 - 15p, if you have a freezer you could get a fair bit of bread in at least for a couple of quid (or just go every couple of days).0
