I'm a poor person in America and I cannot get SNAP as I am only a legal resident alien.

  That's super fucked up. There is still a remote chance you qualify FYI: https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/eligibility/citizen/non-citizen-policy https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/eligibility/citizen/non-citize...

    Thanks for that link, that was an interesting read, but sadly I don't think I qualify for any of those exemptions. It's more messed-up because I'm currently on house arrest and so I can't even go to a food bank to get food. I have to rely on the kindness of strangers who pass through the building I live at - occasionally one of them will drop off some food randomly. I'm pretty much down to some packets of stuffing and cans of sliced potatoes right now, but I don't mind. Before I started my last business I was down to zero and was finding canned food in Dumpsters, which while it isn't great, will mean you don't die!
