Mission and programs · 2024

• 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

As filed on the 2024 return.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
