Food Council To Create Food Assistance Resource Directory

 

22peppers

The Montgomery County Food Council is creating a Food Assistance Resource Directory for our County in order to more effectively connect people who seek these resources with those who provide them, as well as create stronger connectivity between the organizations providing food assistance services in our County. We are collecting basic information to create a searchable database, print resources, an interactive map, and potentially a mobile application, for the use of all who access, give referrals to, or provide these services.

We ask all organizations in Montgomery County providing food assistance to take 2-3 minutes to respond to our brief online survey so that the Food Council can accurately represent you in our resource directory, using the Google Form linked below:
