History

Food Bank of North Alabama (FBNA) became affiliated with America's Second Harvest in 1985 and began full-time operations in April of that year. In 1994, FBNA became a certified affiliate of America's Second Harvest. Our food bank is responsible for providing direct food bank support to more than 190 charitable feeding programs in eleven counties in North Alabama. The charitable programs include shelters for the homeless, soup kitchens, special residential facilities for children and the handicapped, low-income day care providers, emergency food pantries and shelters for abused women and children. The counties we serve are: Cullman, DeKalb, Jackson, Limestone, Madison, Marshall and Morgan.

During fiscal year 2008, FBNA distributed more than 4.5 million pounds of food in support of North Alabama's needy, ill, children. Using a nationally formulated value for a pound of contributed food ($1.28), FBNA provided more than $6 million worth of support to its affiliated charities last year. The Food Bank expended $340,000 to cover its operating costs in '03, giving it a $17 to $1 benefit to cost ratio.
