Food Drive of the Month

January 2012

Carmen Gemette's

"Festival of Lights"

Mr. Gemette (pictured on the right) gives Parke Hinman, Ex. Dir. of MAFB the monetary donation from his "Festival of Lights" Fund/Food Drive. 

Mr. Gemete has been a faithful contributor of the Food Bank for many years (10 or more).  He has a spectacular light display at his home where he has our barrels for food donations and takes

in monetary donations also.

This year Mr. Gemette collected 592 pounds of food and $81 in donations.  PLUS those donating got to see his FANTASTIC holiday light display.

Thanks Mr. Gemette for helping us

"FEED HOPE ACROSS ALABAMA"

Did you know?

  For every $25 donation to

  the Montgomery Area Food      Bank, we can provide up to 160 pounds of food.  This    would feed a family of three for two weeks or an elderly

  couple for a month.  Would you like to MAKE A

  DONATION by credit card or debit card online?

  Click HERE

  If you would like you may choose to make your

  monetary contributions  to support a specific

Food Bank Program:

 

~   Our Senior Supplement Program targets the

  needs of the elderly by providing food supplement

  boxes monthly.

~   Our Mobile Pantry Program involves the delivery

  of a Food Bank truckload of assorted foods to a

  specified site where it is distributed directly to qualified

  clients.

   

  To learn more on these programs click HERE.

  Even though fully half of the households that visit food

  pantries and soup kitchens have at least one member

  who is working, their wages are too low to meet all

  expenses. Quite often what gets left out is food.

Here are some helpful documents with hints to make a great food drive:
