Panhandling is illegal in a lot of places...
Do the library thing, more than likely there are churches in your area that do a free lunch type thing, depending on how populated your area is.
Dumpster dive at grocery stores, a lot of the stuff in them is still good, but if it sits in a dumpster for a few days it will go bad.
Find a good girl, shack up with her. I was homeless when I met my girlfriend. We've been together 2 and half years, and we've been back and forth from either me having a job and her staying with me, or her having a job and me staying with her. Now we both have jobs and have our place.
Good people get into shitty situations, but it's these things that make us stronger.
Also look for some type of 'community outreach' program.
they have one in my area that will hook you up with a couple weeks worth of groceries and give you gas money if you have car registration. They only help twice in 6 months, but that should be all the help you need if you can find a church/churches that have free lunch.
Give back to the free lunch though, volunteer to help clean up etc. Don't just be one of those assholes that goes eat there everyday, and does absolutely nothing to help.
Or, worst case scenario, you could get a petty misdmeanor and put up with 3 hots and a cot for the winter.
Food stamps are good for this too. Tell them you are homeless and you can stay at your buddy's house as long as you have food.
This should help you for a few months til you can get it back together.
