The number of persons receiving food assistance through Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or "SNAP" (referred to as the "Food Assistance Program" in Alabama). Data excludes 87,358 persons aged 60+ who received food assistance through the Alabama Elderly Simplified Application Project (AESAP) in March 2022 and 64,958 persons in March 2017. Data reported are for March of the specified years.
Data Source

Notes
Data was not available at the county level for persons aged 60+ who received food assistance through the Alabama Elderly Simplified Application Project (AESAP) in 2012; thus, they were excluded from the totals for that month/year. 2017 data has AESAP cases included in county of origin therefore previous year’s data is not comparable.
