Thanks to the help of friends like you, we provided more than 19.4 million pounds of food in 2021.
With your support, just imagine what we can do in the years to come. We are barely scratching the surface of what is possible when we work together.
Do you volunteer for the Community Food Bank? Some companies will even donate to us (a Volunteer Grant) in return for your time!
We know that when you choose to give to an organization, you truly care about the mission.
We are so thankful for our donors, and we have developed programs that will help show our appreciation! We value our donors in a big way, and we want to make sure you feel it!
Direct donations are not the only way to support the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama.
Food Drives are important to keeping our shelves stocked with nutritious food for the children, seniors, veterans, and families we serve. Every donation makes a difference—no matter the size! We can provide the bins, and you provide the manpower!
Fund Drives, or Virtual Food Drives, are especially helpful because a $1 donation provides 4 meals. When you hold a Virtual Food Drive, your dollar is stretched further. We can purchase food at a much lower cost than at a grocery store, and we will be able to purchase exactly what we are in need of.
When you make a donation directly to the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama or through your workplace giving program, many employers will donate the same amount. Some companies may match a retiree’s donation too!
Your company may also match the hours you volunteer at the Community Food Bank with a financial grant!
Matching gift programs help us raise funds that allow us to provide more meals in our community to families, seniors, and veterans facing the fears of food insecurity. With the matching gift program, your donation can go even further, providing up to 8 meals with each dollar!
A dedication donation to the Community Food Bank is a gift that keeps on giving.
A donation in honor of a person is a perfect way to celebrate someone’s birthday, wedding, anniversary, or in place of holiday gifts. A memorial gift remembers a friend or loved one who has passed on.
You can honor or memorialize your loved ones through a donation online at give.feedingal.org.
Hungry families need food year-round. Join our Meal Makers Club recurring giving program, and help ensure that adults and children in our communities have enough healthy food every month of the year.
A donation of just $10 a month will enable us to provide 40 meals for someone in need.

A planned gift creates a legacy of hope to ensure Tomorrow’s Harvest.
Your lasting gift can be especially meaningful because it provides long-term support that strengthens our ability to feed hungry neighbors. You can designate a bequest to the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama in your will, name the Food Bank as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, or gift retirement assets.

A Donor-Advised Fund is like a charitable investment account, for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth and you can recommend grants to virtually any IRS-qualified public charity.
Contact your financial advisor to get started, or use DAF Direct (below) to connect.
