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

We distribute nearly 500,000 pounds of food each month through:

  • 220+ partner agencies
  • Direct programs for children and seniors
  • Emergency food distribution
  • Mobile food pantries

To fully meet local need, we must double our distribution. Your help matters.

How We Get Food

We rely on a mix of donated and purchased food:

  • Retail Donations from Walmart, Kroger, Aldi, and others
  • USDA TEFAP (federal commodities)
  • Food Drives & Individual Donors
  • Direct Purchases for hard-to-get items

Every item is sorted, packed, and distributed with care.

From delivering monthly meal boxes for seniors to emergency food support in times of greater need, Food Bank coordinates national government assistance to deliver the most help where it’s needed.
