West Alabama Food Bank

Gathering Food to Serve People in Need

The West Alabama Food Bank works in our nine county service
area procuring food donations to serve a population of over
315,000 residents; over fifteen percent of whom are living
in poverty. Over the last seventeen years the WAFB has
distributed over 12,000,000 pounds of food to households in
need through our network of 65 agencies. The WAFB is a member
of the Alabama Food Bank Association and an affiliate of
America' Second Harvest The Nation's Food Bank Network.
Join us in the fight to end hunger in our community!
