Together, We Can End Childhood Hunger in Alabama
Every day, more than 200,000 children in Alabama face hunger—unsure when or where their next meal will come. For an adult, that’s a devastating challenge.
For a child, it’s unimaginable. By partnering with ACFS, you can help provide nourishing meals, hope, and a brighter future for children who need it most. Together, we can make sure no child goes to bed hungry.
Midwest
Food Bank
Midwest Food Bank is an American 501(c)(3)[1] non-profit organization that gathers food donations, primarily from large companies, and distributes them to other non-profit organizations and disaster sites. Founded on a family farm in Bloomington, Illinois, in 2003, Midwest Food Bank began expanding in 2005 after contributing to disaster relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina. Currently, it operates ten locations in the United States and two internationally. As of 2021, it was the United States' thirty-ninth-largest charity and second-largest food bank by revenue; each month, it distributes more than $32 million worth of food to more than 2,000 other non-profit organizations.
ACFS is happy to be a partner with Midwest Food Bank. We pick up food twice a month at no cost to us other than the gas expenses that it cost us to travel to their Georgia warehouse.
Community Food Bank of Central Alabama
The Community Food Bank of Central Alabama operates as a food distribution center. We purchase food from industry sources and receive surplus food reclaimed from local grocery stores.
(We also welcome food donations from the community!) In turn, we distribute that food to more than 230 nonprofits in the community that serve as our agency partners. These agencies receive food from the Community Food Bank and distribute it to those in need, free of charge.
