It is important to know that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is a federal entitlement program funded by U.S. Government grants.

Any U.S. Citizen, even some legal alien residents, will get free food assistance as long as they meet the SNAP eligibility guidelines.

In other words, there is enough Supplemental Nutrition Assistance for every American that qualifies.

In Alabama, the SNAP is administered by the Alabama Food Assistance Division as The Alabama Food Assistance Program.

The Food Assistance Division is part of the Alabama Department of Human Resources (DHR) and has local DHR offices in all Alabama counties.

The Alabama Food Assistance Program provides monthly food assistance benefits to eligible low-income households to help them buy the food they need for good nutrition and health.
