Food insecurity is something that Alabama families have to face, likely more often than many may imagine. According to the West Alabama Food Bank, more than 292,330 children in Alabama are at risk today. They may not have had breakfast this morning, and some didn’t even have dinner last night.

This program was created by the Alabama Credit Union in 2008 with the goal of decreasing the number of children facing hunger over the weekend. The staff at Alabama Credit Union goes to the West Alabama Food Bank to pick up food packs, and on Fridays, they place the packs in the backpacks of students at school across West Alabama.
