Mission

THE FOOD BANK OPERATES AS A CLEARING HOUSE FOR THE COLLECTING, SORTING, STORING AND DISTRIBUTION OF EDIBLE FOOD TO QUALIFIED AGENCIES; WHO IN TURN PASS THE FOOD ALONG TO ALABAMA'S "FOOD INSECURE" CITIZENS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE FOOD BANK OPERATES AS A CLEARING HOUSE FOR THE COLLECTION, SORTING, STORING AND DISTRIBUTION OF EDIBLE FOOD TO QUALIFIED AGENCIES.

  • THE STRUCTURE OF OUR ORGANIZATION PROVIDES INCREASED OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AGENCIES WE SUPPORT BY COLLECTING, SORTING (BOTH DRY/STAPLE AND COLD/FROZEN) AND DISTRIBUTING FOOD. ALONG WITH FOUR SMALLER AFFILIATED FOOD BANKS (AFBS) UNDER OUR SUPERVISION, WE HAVE A SERVICE AREA REACHING TO 35 OF ALABAMA'S 67 COUNTIES (WITH A POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 1,614,000) AND MORE THAN 600 COMMUNITY AGENCIES. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE FOOD TO THE CHILDREN, ELDERLY, NEWLY UNEMPLOYED, WORKKING POOR, HOMELESS, MENTALLY CHALLENGED, AND VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND DISASTERS. DURING OUR LAST FISCAL YEAR, WE DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 29 MILLION POUNDS OF VITAL NUTRITION TO THOSE IN NEED.

    Expenses $48,271,384 · Grants $42,709,255 · Revenue $1,127,576

  • WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA, 21% OF THE POPULATION ARE FOOD INSECURE. OF THAT TOTAL, 20% OF ADULTS AND 25% OF CHILDREN ARE LIVING IN POVERTY. ONE OF OUR MOST EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES IN COMBATING THIS PERVASIVE PROBLEM IS OUR MOBILE PANTRY PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO GO TO WHERE THE NEEDIEST ARE, AND DISTRIBUTE FOOD DIRECTLY THROUGH OUR PARTNER AGENCIES. THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS US TO TARGET REMOTE COMMUNITIES IN ALABAMA'S "BLACK BELT" AREA (CHRONICALLY AMONG THE MOST POVERTY-STRICKEN REGIONS IN THE NATION) AS WELL AS METROPOLITAN AREAS. IN FY25, WE DISTRIBUTED 15,317,585 POUNDS OF FOOD THROUGH THIS OUTREACH EFFORT.

    Expenses $90,399 · Revenue $58,537

  • APPROXIMATELY 23% OF SENIORS (60 YEARS & OLDER) IN OUR SERVICE AREA ARE LIVING IN POVERTY. IN OUR MOST IMPOVERISHED COUNTY, THAT PERCENTAGE JUMPS TO OVER 36%. IN ORDER TO HELP OFFSET THE NEEDS OF OUR SENIORS, WE ESTABLISHED A SENIOR SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM THAT, IN FY25, PROVIDED BETWEEN 37 POUNDS OF NUTRITIOUS FOOD ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO 720 SENIORS. WE ALSO PROVIDE TWO EXTRA BOXES IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER SPECIFICALLY TARGETING THE PREPARATION OF HOLIDAY MEALS.

    Expenses $62,132 · Revenue $34,782

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
