MONTGOMERY, AL - In light of the recent discontinuation of federal SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) funding, the City of Montgomery is sharing information to help residents connect with local organizations offering free food and essential support.
"We want to make sure residents know where to turn for help," said Mayor Steven L. Reed. "Our goal is to get this information into the hands of those who need it most."
A number of churches, nonprofits, and food banks across Montgomery are stepping up to provide groceries, meals, and household essentials. These include:
