BIRMINGHAM, AL (August 15, 2025) |
Throughout July, AmFirst and ABC 33/40 joined forces for the 2025 Feeding Families Across Alabama Food Drive, rallying the community to fight food insecurity across the region. Thanks to the remarkable generosity of members and partners, AmFirst’s combined collection of nonperishable food items and monetary donations will provide more than 87,000 meals through the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama.
Community Food Bank of Central Alabama serves over 60,000 children, seniors, and families annually across 12 counties. With one in five people in Central Alabama facing food insecurity, these donations will help provide thousands of meals to neighbors most in need.
“This food drive truly demonstrated the caring spirit of our members and employees,” said Jody Mattson, AmFirst’s Director of Philanthropy and Community Engagement. “Through their generosity, we continue to make a meaningful impact in the fight against hunger in our communities.”
AmFirst President and CEO Kevin Morris emphasized, “We are committed to supporting families across Alabama, and we’re grateful for everyone who contributed. Every pound of food and every dollar donated helps us make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors.”
All monetary donations were presented to the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama on August 13, 2025. Food donations were delivered throughout July, helping refill pantry shelves and providing relief to families experiencing hunger.
