FOOD DRIVES
Many organizations, churches, schools,
businesses, and more choose to help the food
bank each year through organizing food
drives among their members. Oftentimes this
coincides with the holidays, but many times
it does not. After all, people are hungry
365 days a year, not just over the holidays.

About the United Way Community Food Bank:
grant of $100,000 from the Greater
Birmingham Foundation made it possible for
the Food Bank to open its doors on December
1, 1982. At that time, service was provided
to Jefferson, Shelby and Walker counties.
The planning was done by volunteers from the
community and the Planning department of
United Way of Central Alabama . Over the
last 21 years, the number of counties served
by the food bank has increased from 3 to 13
and the number of agencies distributing food
in Central Alabama has increased from 30 to
190. Click here

agencies in the community, including church

shelters, and other applicable programs. If
you are in need of food assistance, or are
looking for a food pantry in your area,
please call the United Way Referral Line at
211, have your zip code ready, and tell them
you are looking for a food pantry in your
area.WHERE CAN I BRING FOOD DONATIONS?

bring them to the food bank during our
