Food Stamp 
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.
