In 2017, the Food Council released the first edition of The Montgomery County Food Assistance Resource Directory. This resource aims to more effectively connect people who seek food assistance services with those who provide them, as well as create stronger connectivity between the organizations providing food assistance resources in our County. In addition to this print resource, we’ve created a searchable database and interactive map, and may potentially create a mobile application, for the use of all who access, give referrals to, or provide these services.
Please contact info@mocofoodcouncil.org with questions or comments.
Thank you to the Transforming Communities Initiative through the Institute for Public Innovation and the Healthcare Initiative Foundation for making this resource possible!

Join us on Thursday, April 25th, 11am-12pm, for a meeting of the Equitable Land Access Working Group. We will be discussing the potential of farm incubator and community programming in the County, where beginning farmers are given the land, tools, and support they need to flourish. Additionally, we will learn about farmland preservation efforts in the County, and learn about USDA's recent initiatives and opportunities to promote local and regional food systems. We plan to have a lively discussion to learn more, and to connect to and fuel the momentum of these exciting efforts.
