Program Assistance
Any program to combat hunger
must be part of a continuing Federal commitment to policies that
generate full employment with full-time, year round, living-wage
jobs. That kind economy has yet to be achieved, and, in the long
run, is likely to be insufficient to meet the nutritional needs
of all vulnerable populations. In a country that is not only rich
but also a producer of food in marvelous abundance, widespread
persistent hunger is simply unacceptable.
DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Food Assistance Division
The Food Assistance Division administers the Food Stamp Program in Alabama. The Food Stamp Program's purpose is to end hunger and improve nutrition by providing monthly benefits to eligible low income households to help them buy the food they need for good health. The eligibility rules and benefit amounts, based on income, and household size, are determined by regulations issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service. USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. Application for the Food Stamp Program are available in all county DHR offices.
Applications must be filed in the county where you live.
Visit the web site below for detailed information about the application process and locations of county offices.
