CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Heart of Alabama Food Bank

MICHAEL COLEMAN

“ The most fulfilling aspect of our work is knowing that thousands of the most vulnerable in our society ( children ) will not have to go to bed hungry each night because of the work being done . Childhood hunger is one key factor that produces childhood trauma , and HAFB works extremely hard to reduce or eliminate this suffering .”
