Summer is a difficult time for millions of children, who miss meals they’d normally receive at school.
That’s where you come in.
Our food drive Feeding Families Across Alabama runs throughout the month of July and benefits the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama. We’re partnering with ABC 33/40, The CW 21, and My 68 WABM, but we still need your help.
We will accept donations at all of our 21 branches, starting Tuesday, July 6 and ending Friday, July 30. A donation box will be placed inside each branch lobby for donations.
Drop off pre-approved food items from this list at any of our branches and help feed local families in need:
The most-needed food items are as follows:
-
- Canned Tuna in Water
- Canned Chicken
- Cereal / Oatmeal / Grits
- Dried or Canned Beans
- Pasta and Pasta Sauce
- Brown Rice
- Peanut Butter and Jelly
- Macaroni and Cheese
- Canned Vegetables
- Canned or Dried Fruit
Last year, thanks to your generosity we collected more than $25,000 and 20,000 food items to help feed local families.
