Montgomery Public Schools to Ready Feed Students
According to Montgomery Public Schools (MPS) The Child Nutrition Program remains committed to ensuring that students are fed a nutritious meal while schools are closed. The following sites will serve breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. beginning Monday, March 23.
These meals are for pick-up only. Students will not be allowed to eat at the schools. The meals will be available for free for anyone 18 and under regardless of what school they attend. No paperwork is required. Children must be present in order for the meals to be provided. The program will be solely for the pickup of meals and meals will not be consumed on site. MPS encourages parents to be proactive in reducing risk of COVID-19 by not congregating at school sites and utilizing social distancing once meals have been distributed.
Disaster preparedness is part of Montgomery Area Food Bank’s operational plan, and while measures are being taken to ensure the continuity of our operations, please continue to “watch this space” and monitor our social media for what will likely be fluid changes and adjustments.The Alabama Department of Public Health has set up a hotline; 1-888-264-2256 for people who are concerned about whether they need to be tested and where testing is available.

CDC /ADPH Guidance We've Gathered
While developing the Hinman Building capital campaign, particular focus was placed upon delivering added value to donors. Community support of the MAFB mission through personalizing a Building Brick provides a unique means of ultimately receiving tangible recognition of that support, which will last. The community will quite literally be added to MAFB’s future and a donor’s generosity will be recognized as patrons, employees, volunteers and supporters enter our new E. Parke Hinman, III Building.
Capital Campaign Provides Visible, Lasting Recognition
All information in support of personalizing a Building Brick is available here - or by clicking on the brick logo on virtually every page of the MAFB web site. Corporate logos require an additional step of verifying trademark rights, but the entire process is direct and supported by customer service professionals to answer any of your questions.
