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.
Community Food Bank of Central Alabama
The Community Food Bank of Central Alabama serves as the region’s primary hunger-relief organization, operating with the mission to feed people in need today and foster collaborative solutions to end hunger tomorrow. The organization operates as a central distribution hub rather than providing direct food assistance to individuals.
They purchase food from industry sources and receive surplus food from local grocery stores, then distribute these resources to over 300 nonprofit partners including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and children's programs. ACFS is a proud partner of the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama.
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.
