No one should go hungry.
In five of the six counties we serve, more than one in 10 people struggle to access enough food for a healthy life. Across Alabama, nearly 20% of children face uncertainty about their next meal.
United Way works to eliminate hunger through local foodbanks, summer feeding programs, distributing free groceries, delivering meals and more.
