The Community Food Bank of Central Alabama is a nonprofit organization based in Birmingham that coordinates the collection and distribution of food to alleviate hunger across 12 Central Alabama counties. It serves a broad network of more than 250 partner agencies and religious organizations, distributing food through emergency pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, and direct-service programs such as Mobile Pantries, the Kids Meals Campaign, and the End Senior Hunger Initiative. Food comes from Feeding America, government agencies, national and local donors, and budget-funded purchases, with distributions made to the public at no charge. The organization traces its roots to 1982, when a grant enabled it to open and gradually expanded from three counties and about 30 partner agencies to twelve counties and more than 250 partners. Recent developments include expansion of facilities with a new warehouse in Bessemer, with a planned move in June 2026 to support growth in its service area.
