MONTGOMERY, AL — Following the recent discontinuation of federal SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) funding, the City of Montgomery is helping residents connect with local organizations that provide 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.”
