The Food Bank of East Alabama serves the food insecure in seven East Alabama counties.

Hunger deprives our children of more than just food.

No child should go hungry over the weekend. Our Backpack Program provides elementary students with kid-friendly, shelf-stable meals every Friday during the school year.

What’s in a Backpack:

  • Easy-to-open, nutritious food items
  • Designed for children to prepare on their own

Currently the Food Bank partners with 13 local schools. If you would like more information about how an individual or organization could sponsor children in the program or information for how a school can get involved, email nchapman@foodbankofeastalabama.com
