Description
Did you know more than 38 million people in the United States, including 12 million children, are food insecure. In Alabama, 1 in 6 people and 1 in 5 children face food insecurity daily. Knowing where your next meal comes from should be a right, not a privilege.
Since 1994, Auburn University and the Food Bank of East Alabama have united students, faculty, alumni, and community members to help fight hunger and poverty in East Alabama by challenging the University of Alabama and the West Alabama Food Bank to see who can collect more non-perishable food to help those in need. This good-natured competition has made an impact that reaches far beyond the campuses where it began. Since its inception in 1994, the competition has raised over 9 million pounds of food for Alabamians without proper access to food.
Join me and the rest of BBFD as we work to fight food insecurity and BEAT BAMA.
