The Montgomery County Food Council has launched a new online resource to more effectively connect residents at risk for hunger to food assistance resources. The Food Council's Food Assistance Resource Map features a searchable directory of 110+ local food pantries and grocery box providers, meal programs, and SNAP and WIC application assistance sites. Residents can search for programs closest to their home or work location, as well as those that offer specific features like delivery, accommodations for special diets, fresh produce, and multilingual support.
Search results, a complete list of providers (in English and Spanish language versions), and a "Regional Directory" that lists providers by zip code are all available for print and download as well. The Food Council completed a full update of the information in the Directory in Fall 2018, ensuring the program details are as accurate and comprehensive as possible. The Food Council would like to thank the Trinity Health Transforming Communities Initiative, the Healthcare Initiative Foundation, the Montgomery County Council, and the Office of the County Executive for their generous support of this project.
