Partner Agency, Mobile Pantry, Secret Meals/BackPack, Senior Box, Mobile Market
The West Alabama Food Bank operates a 49,000 square foot warehouse where member agencies are allowed to personally select food items appropriate for their emergency food program. The WAFB provides food for the hungry in West Alabama through member agencies, Mobile Pantries, Secret Meals/BackPack and Senior Box. The WAFB is a part of Feeding America, which is the national food bank network, through it's affiliation as a Partner Distribution Organization (PDO) with Montgomery Area Food Bank.
Mobile Food Pantry
A Mobile Food Pantry is designed to distribute a 10-15,000 pound truckload of nutritious product directly to the disadvantaged residents in a neighborhood chosen by the sponsoring agency. One Mobile Pantry will generously assist 150-200 families with 65-100 pounds of product each. The growth of this program is of the utmost importance as our Mobile Pantries are becoming a primary means of expanding our outreach into historically "underserved areas.”
BackPack Meals for Children
Meals for weekends are discreetly placed in children identified as food insecure backpacks.
Senior Brown Box
Box delivered to seniors that are 65 and older experiencing food insecurity.
Mobile Market
Bringing nutritious items into neighborhoods of Alabama's Black Belt to improve the quality of life of those we serve.
