Q: In most communities, there is at least one non-profit organization that distributes donated food to those in need. If you are having trouble affording a trip to the grocery store, this can be a great way to get some basic items to stock your pantry.  Food banks are typically run by independent charitable organizations and churches in your local community, so you should be able to track one down on-line or even using the phone book. If you're having trouble finding out where the food bank is in your community this website lists many food banks around the nation, though it is not an exhaustive list. Similar services exist to help you meet your clothing needs. These clothing banks are are run by churches and other private charities, sometimes at the same site as your local food bank. If your food bank doesn't have a clothing bank and you need some clothes, the volunteers at the food bank may be able to tell you where these services are available. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers assistance to individuals and families who's income does not exceed 130 percent of the poverty line. This program, called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can make trips to the grocery store much less painful and makes cooking your own meals an even cheaper option.  To find out if you are eligible for SNAP, use their pre-screening tool, available here. In most states, you can apply for SNAP online. Links to each state's application page are available here. If you have children, you may be eligible for a federal program called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), more commonly known as welfare. This is a cash assistance program that can help you make ends meet for a while.  Funds for TANF are provided to states in block grants from The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), a division of the Department of Health & Human Services. It is up to each individual state to distribute these funds. You can find information about your state's requirements and application processes by visiting the ACF's website and selecting your state. TANF benefits are available for a maximum of five years, and recipients typically must demonstrate that they are making an effort to become self-sufficient. Assistance with housing costs is also available for families who earn less than 50 percent of the median income in their area. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will pay some portion of your rent directly to your landlord if you qualify. Like TANF, Section 8 housing is administered at the state level. To find your local Public Housing Authority and apply for a HUD voucher, visit the HUD website and select your state. If you have a family, the cost of childcare can be a major burden, but may be unavoidable if you go to work or school. The Child Care and Development Fund provides assistance for working parents of children under the age of 13. Like many of the programs discussed above, this assistance is provided at the state level. To find out who to contact for information about assistance in your state, visit the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Childcare website. If you have school aged children, they may be eligible for subsidized meals at school through the USDA's National School Lunch Program(NSLP). For information about eligibility requirements and how to apply, visit their website. The NSLP website also provides other valuable information about how create low-cost healthy meals and snacks for your children.

Q: The green leafy kind – like spinach, kale, collard greens, chard, and lettuce – are best. Broccoli, asparagus, turnip greens, lentils, and kidney beans can fulfill your folate requirements to some extent, too. Beans and pumpkin seeds are good sources of iron as well. Try to mix up your sources so you get a variety of other nutrients, too. Having a wide variety of vegetables, nuts, and beans in your diet will ensure that you're on the right track. Whole meal bread and dried fruit, like apricots and raisins, are also good for iron. Fenugreek, oatmeal, dates, and fruits such as bananas, apples, and pomegranates are rich in non heme iron and folates, too. Make sure you have cereals, fruit juices, pastas, and breads fortified with iron, folic acid, and folates. Many products now come fortified with iron, often for this purpose. The pregnant vegan may need to take supplements to help meet the daily requirements of iron in the body. Supplements are usually taken after the first twenty weeks of pregnancy. However, you should be advised by your obstetrician or a nutritionist before taking any supplements. Dietary iron comes in two varieties: heme and non heme. Heme is easier to absorb but it is found only in animal sources. However, you can increase your intake of non heme iron through plant sources and/or through a supplement to compensate for a lack of heme iron. Folates play a crucial role in fetal development; in fact folate deficiency can lead to neural tube defect and incomplete development of the fetal spine. Folates are present in some of the foods listed above, but a supplement may also be wise.  A daily folate supplement containing 400 micrograms of folate is recommended as soon as you start planning your pregnancy and should be continued through the 1st trimester. Your doctor will likely suggest a multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplement containing 18 mg of iron, along with vitamin B12 and folates in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Ferrous, ferrous sulfate, ferrous citrate, ferric gluconate, and ferric sulfate are the types of iron frequently used in these supplements. You require 45 mg of iron daily to compensate for increased blood volume and the baby’s requirements. Ideally, your hemoglobin should be above 11grams/dl.  The need of iron in the body is higher in pregnancy than normal because of the blood formation that is taking place in the baby and the increase in blood volume for the mother. Blood helps in the transport of the important nutrients that are needed by the body and therefore more of the blood is required to transport the nutrients while one is pregnant. A vegan pregnant woman should watch out for signs of reduced blood in the body. This includes pale eyes, hands, having shortness of breath and getting tired easily. This is because iron helps in transformation of oxygen to the vital organs and therefore when it is reduced, the mother will have problems breathing.
A: Load up on your vegetables. Eat more grains and fruits, too. Take an iron supplement. Take a folate supplement. Know how much iron your baby requires.
