Alabama Childhood Food Solutions is launching its "Adopt a Child" program to address a sobering reality: one in four children across the state faces food insecurity. Through this program, community members, like yourself, can make a direct, measurable impact by providing weekly food backpacks to children who might otherwise go without meals on weekends and school breaks. Each backpack is filled with kid-friendly, easy-to-prepare foods like instant oatmeal, fruit cups, Chef Boyardee, and Nutri-Grain bars—items that don't require cooking and can help a child feel full and focused.
The program is already making a difference, currently serving 2,553 children across Alabama with 100% of donations going directly to feeding hungry kids. For just $24 a month, donors can provide one child with weekly food support throughout the entire month—that's 32 weeks of care throughout the school year. "The oatmeal keeps me full for breakfast on weekends," says Marcus, age 10, one of the children benefiting from the program. Whether you choose to adopt one child or four, your recurring monthly gift creates stability for food-insecure families and ensures that no child has to wonder where their next meal will come from.
