Disaster Relief

The Food Bank of North Alabama acts as a first responder in times of disaster. When a tornado or flood strikes, we draw upon our food supplies to deliver emergency food and water to residents directly impacted.

When the F-5 tornadoes struck in 2011, for example, we supplied over 3 million pounds of disaster-related food and water to residents and food programs across North Alabama.

In times of disaster, the Food Bank deploys its fleet of refrigerated trucks to deliver food to those that need it most. Thank you to our generous donors, Walmart and Publix, for donating trucks that help us accomplish this important part of our mission.
