SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) are two federal programs set up to feed families with little children and they could provide free baby formula too.
You may be able to get free baby formula samples from your doctor, pediatrician or local hospitals. Because baby formula manufacturers provide samples for exactly this purpose, that doctors and hospitals pass them on to babies in need of formula food in the hope that they can reach the ultimate user of their product.
If you happen to get your hands on daily newspapers and magazines dedicated to baby and child care, you might find inserts that give coupons for free baby formula samples. And local grocery stores sometimes announce a sale on certain items they carry, this could include baby formula too.
