Volunteers are the heart of the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama. Every box packed, every pallet sorted, every hour given in our warehouse or at a distribution helps move food quickly and safely to neighbors across central Alabama.

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it was filled with a big impact. From warehouse volunteers packing boxes to distribution partners serving families and seniors, every effort helped move food quickly and safely to tables across our communities.

In February, 883 volunteers gave 1,748 hours of service. Their efforts in packing food boxes and sorting food help ensure that food reaches our neighbors tables. We received 1.2 M lbs. of food and distributed 1.3 M lbs., providing over 1.09 M meals to our neighbors facing hunger.
