As a food bank, we rely on the generous support of the local food industry to help us feed hungry people in South Central Alabama. We solicit, collect, purchase and store food and related products from national and local manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, Distribution Centers, and distribute it to nonprofit community food programs throughout a 35-county area that provides free food to the hungry.
If you're in the food industry, strongly consider donating your overstocked or short-dated food. If you are a broker, manufacturer, distributor, grocer, retailer, food tradeshow, food hauling firm, or reclamation center, please contact our Resource Manager, David Fata via email at dfata@earthlink.net or call 263-3784
Partnership with the Food Bank is open to established churches, and to charities that have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. Your agency can help fight hunger by beginning one of the two basic types of programs:
Food Pantry - Where clients receive unprepared food.
- On-site feeding - Where food is prepared and served on site, or delivered to persons in need.
Prospective agencies must submit a completed application package, attend one of our Orientation classes, and agree to follow the procedures and guidelines outlined in the contract forms. For more information on becoming a partnering agency, contact our Agency Service Coordinator, Vicky Manley via email at vickymanley@earthlink.net or call 263-3784.
