Heart of Alabama Food Bank

The mission of the Heart of Alabama Food Bank is to nourish the hungry by educating and mobilizing the community, engaging in partnerships that advance self-sufficiency, and gathering then distributing food and other necessities across 35 Alabama counties.

We collect, purchase, warehouse, and distribute food and other grocery products (at no cost to the recipients) through our Montgomery warehouse, our AFBs, and our over 800 partner agencies to people who are unable to adequately provide for themselves and their families.

Last year, we distributed more than 28 million pounds — the equivalent of roughly 23 million meals!

The needy we reach include children (40%), the elderly (20%), and others (40%), including the newly unemployed, the working poor, the homeless, the mentally challenged, and victims of domestic violence and disasters, among others.

For every dollar donated to HAFB, we can provide five meals to needy families.

HAFB serves the following 35 counties: Autauga, Barbour, Bibb, Bullock, Butler, Chilton, Coffee, Coosa, Crenshaw, Dale, Dallas, Elmore, Fayette, Geneva, Greene, Hale, Henry, Houston, Lamar, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Marion, Montgomery, Perry, Pickens, Pike, Randolph, Russell, Sumter, Tallapoosa, Tuscaloosa, Wilcox
