What a wonderful day celebrating the grand opening of the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama’s new facility!

This new facility is so much more than a building. It represents greater capacity to store, prepare, and distribute food—and an even stronger ability to serve children, families, seniors, and neighbors facing hunger throughout Central Alabama.We were also proud to take part in the Publix Packing Event, where Publix demonstrated its incredible commitment to fighting hunger by presenting the Community Food Bank with a $550,000 check. What an extraordinary investment in our community!As we recognize this milestone during Hunger Action Month, we are reminded that the work continues. Hunger affects our neighbors every day, and all of us have a role to play—whether we volunteer, give, advocate, organize a food drive, or simply help share the Food Bank’s mission.Congratulations to the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama on this exciting new chapter, and thank you to Publix and everyone who helped make this vision a reality. Together, we are building a stronger future in the fight against hunger. 💚#HungerActionMonth #CommunityFoodBankofCentralAlabama #Publix #FightingHunger #CentralAlabama #CommunityPartners ...
