HEART OF ALABAMA FOOD BANK
The Heart of Alabama Food Bank works tirelessly to source , acquire and distribute nutritious food to those experiencing hunger and food insecurity throughout the region , allowing families , seniors and children to thrive .
WE ARE EXCITED BY / ABOUT launching our new Food as Medicine program . We realize that proper nutrition is essential for maintaining optimal health and preventing various diseases . Through our partnerships with the Montgomery Cancer Center- Baptist Health , Jackson Hospital , Alabama Kidney Foundation , Alabama Department of Public Health , Tuskegee VA Medical Center and Dr . Joseph Henry Ward Veteran Food Pantry , we will be able to address the impact of food insecurity on overall health .
WE ’ VE LEARNED THE HARD WAY THAT “ lessening the line ” takes all of us working together to ensure that everyone in a household has access to quality nutritious food .
WE ARE PROUD OF how creative and visionary our entire team is when it comes to serving our neighbors in need .
VOLUNTEERS WORK WITH US BECAUSE they believe in our mission and know that our team members are doing all they can to further make a difference , regardless of their role . Oftentimes , those who support us may never personally meet someone that was assisted , but they know it is making an impact in their lives .
WE VALUE authentic relationships with our donors , members of the community , our volunteers and team members . We can ’ t do what we do without these relationships .
OUR SECRET SAUCE IS our people . They genuinely care about every facet of what we do , each and every day because they know that food insecurity is a 24 / 7 / 365 issue , and they want to make a difference , too .
CURRENTLY , WE ARE WORKING ON ensuring there is equitable distribution of food across the counties in our service area . You will see a mobile food pantry , in partnership with local businesses and organizations , monthly across the 12 counties in our direct service area . Stay tuned for specific locations .
WE HOPE WOMEN WILL realize that what they do , day in and day out , truly matters . We are role models not only for our families , but our communities and those we serve .
WE MAKE AN IMPACT BY having compassion and a desire to find more ways to serve those who are facing food insecurity . We are truly fighting hunger AND feeding hope every day .
