Did you know the West Alabama Food Bank distributes fresh produce too? 🍎🥕

Last year, we distributed over 17 million pounds of food across our nine-county service area - and that includes fresh fruits and vegetables. While many people think food banks only provide canned goods and shelf-stable items, we work hard to get fresh, nutritious food to families who need it most.

At the West Alabama Food Bank, we believe every family deserves access to the foods they need to thrive. Help us keep fresh food on more tables this summer and donate today!

Happy Memorial Day. ❤️🤍💙

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifices truly remind us of the importance of caring for one another here at home.

School's out, and for many kids in West Alabama, that means the meals they counted on are gone too. 🍎

Summer is one of the most critical times in the fight against hunger. As school breaks begin and demand rises, more families across West Alabama turn to the West Alabama Food Bank for support. That’s where volunteers come into play and food drives make a HUGE impact.

Get involved this summer! Sign up to volunteer or host a food drive and make a difference in your community.

No one should have to choose between groceries and medication. 💊🥫

But for many seniors in West Alabama, that's a very real decision. The Brown Box Program changes that by delivering monthly groceries straight to seniors' doors across eight counties, thanks to caring volunteers and generous community support.

Here's what that looks like in action: just $100 provides a senior with groceries for an entire year.

Tasty Tuesday! 🫑🌶️

This week, we’re highlighting an easy, budget-friendly dinner idea: stuffed peppers!

All you need is bell peppers, ground beef, rice, and tomatoes - and the best part? You can easily toss in whatever extra vegetables you have on hand to make it your own.

It’s a simple way to stretch ingredients, reduce food waste, and create a filling meal for the whole family. 💛

In Alabama, 1 in 6 people faces hunger. 💛

That means families, children, and seniors right here in our community aren't always sure where their next meal is coming from. Hunger doesn't always look the way we expect, and it could be affecting someone you see every single day.

Together, we can change that. Learn how you can help 👉 westalabamafoodbank.org
