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.

As you can tell, 2007 was an extremely busy
year for the food bank! Our efforts at
expanding fresh produce were more successful
than we ever imagined, and while our supply
of USDA bonus product decreased, we were
able to supplement this through additional
food purchases and unbelievable community
support through food drives, local community
events, fundraisers, and more. Our thanks go
out to all of the dedicated volunteers in
the community who worked to make this year a
success for the United Way Community Food
Bank.
As we enter 2008, our hope is to continue
serving the Central Alabama region through
providing healthy nutritious food for those
who need it most. We hope to add to the
programs of the food bank through the
addition of a pilot backpack program,
another innovative children’s nutrition
program from America’s Second Harvest. In
addition, our dedicated staff continues to
be willing to offer any help our agencies
may need in making their food programs a
success. We are fortunate to have so many
community members whose goal is to truly
make central Alabama a great place to live. |
