Each month, the Alabama Weather Network highlights an Alabama-based nonprofit that is doing tremendous work in our state. We want to use our platform to increase the awareness of these wonderful organizations.
This month, we spotlight FeedingAlabama.org
Feeding Alabama is the statewide partner association for Alabama’s eight food banks, working to strengthen hunger-relief efforts across all 67 counties. Together, these food banks and more than 1,400 local partner agencies—including community food pantries, meal programs and other trusted organizations—help get food directly into the hands of Alabama families who need it. Today, 1 in 6 Alabama adults and 1 in 4 children face hunger.
Feeding Alabama works alongside the state’s food banks to secure food and resources, build partnerships, raise awareness and support programs that address hunger in communities across Alabama. Food banks serve as regional hubs, sourcing and distributing food to local pantries and partner organizations that know their communities and their neighbors best. Together, this network helps ensure that whether someone lives in a large city or a rural community, there is a local connection to food assistance.
That statewide network is also critical when severe weather and disasters strike. Alabama’s food banks prepare year-round so they can respond quickly with food, water and essential supplies when tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding or other emergencies disrupt communities. Feeding Alabama helps coordinate those efforts across the network, supporting both immediate response and longer-term recovery.
