📢 Important Update: November SNAP Benefits Suspended

The Alabama Department of Human Resources (DHR) announced that SNAP benefits will be suspended for November 2025 due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.

This means no new benefits will be issued starting November 1, 2025, until federal funding is restored. You WILL still be able to use any remaining funds after November 1, 2025.

Recipients can still use any remaining funds already loaded onto their EBT, and DHR will continue processing applications and determining eligibility, but benefits will not be issued until the suspension is lifted.

If you or someone you know relies on SNAP:
➡️ Continue to submit all required documentation and recertifications to DHR.
➡️ Visit our website to find a food pantry near you: westalabamafoodbank.org
➡️ You can also find statewide food resources through feedingalabama.org

🧡 How You Can Help

This suspension will create an immediate increase in need across West Alabama. We’re asking our community to step up:

🍞 Donate Food: Nonperishable items like canned proteins, soups, pasta, and rice are always needed.
💵 Donate Funds: Every dollar helps provide meals to families facing uncertainty. Give at donatenow.networkforgood.org/wafb
🤝 Host a Food Drive: Rally your coworkers, school, or church to collect food for neighbors in need.

Together, we can make sure no family in West Alabama goes hungry during this critical time. Please share to spread the word.
