United Way of Central Alabama believes
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, distribution of free groceries, delivery of meals and more.
