Are there any soup kitchens or food pantries in Tromsø?
I'm in Tromsø, Norway and due to some very unusual circumstances I'm down to my last dime, but my flight to Oslo is not until a few days from now. So I wonder if there's any soup kitchens, or free food services, or food pantries in Tromsø (I am a Norwegian resident).
The closest thing I could find was Tromsø Folkekjøkken but they do not have events every day.
