Read it about two or three years ago. Miranda, a student, has a day off for some lunar event that turns catastrophic. The moon comes too close to earth or crashes into it, can't quite remember. It's almost like an apocalypse and she has to survive with her family. Her neighbor, an elderly woman, leaves everything to Miranda when she dies. Miranda goes to search for more people and/or food, decides she wants to die so her mom and brother(s?) can survive. She finds a group of people who have been running a food service and give out something like a week's worth of food per person to her. She basically has to help rebuild. Sorry for vague details, it's been a while!

Think it might be Life As We Knew It. (I've only read the beginning of the book so I don't know whether the other scenes are there, but the bit I read fits.)

[Ava]

Just found it, you are correct! Thank you so much!

[Sarah]

Great to know and I'm pleased I could help!

Glad you found your book, Ava.
