The Heart of Alabama Food Bank, previously known as the Montgomery Area Food Bank until 2023, has been a beacon of hope since its founding in 1986. Their mission is to source, acquire, and distribute nutritious food to those facing hunger and food insecurity, helping families, seniors, and children across the region to thrive. 

Dedicated to enhancing their impact, The Heart of Alabama Food Bank has significantly increased their food distribution, expanding from 27 million pounds to 29.5 million pounds. This equates to over 24.5 million meals provided across 35 counties. Their commitment to excellence has earned them a Superior rating from AIB International for food safety operations, a historic achievement for the organization. 

Amid the challenges of inflation, The Heart of Alabama Food Bank has continued to meet critical food needs through improved processes and inventory automation, leading to a substantial 2.5-million-pound increase in distribution. 

The staff at The Heart of Alabama Food Bank are integral to their success. With approximately 50 dedicated employees, the Food Bank operates with the understanding that failure is not an option, as it would mean people going to bed hungry. The organization encourages everyone to contribute to the fight against hunger, whether as a donor, volunteer, or community advocate. 

Looking to the future, The Heart of Alabama Food Bank is excited to launch a “Food As Medicine” program. This initiative aims to provide essential nourishment to individuals facing serious health issues such as cancer, dialysis, and cardiac rehabilitation. By serving their fellow Alabamians with dedication and care, The Heart of Alabama Food Bank continues to make a meaningful difference, ensuring that every senior, adult, and child has enough to eat.
