I know people who go to temples, and they say, that there is always work to do. You would also get free veggie meals :) Another option could be volunteer work on a farm, which I did. I attended a program, where you could help out families on farms for a week. They would give you shelter and food, and you would help them on their farm. It tremendously help me out of my hole, and gave me a new perspective on life. I can expand on that, if you like. Just say so!
