Feeding the Gulf Coast

Feeding the Gulf Coast, formerly Bay Area Food Bank, helps connect people facing hunger with groceries and other food assistance through a network of community partners. Located at 5248 Mobile S St in Theodore, the organization works toward a hunger-free Central Gulf Coast.

Its food-access programs include pantry and distribution resources, mobile pantry and produce drops, child meal sites, and senior food assistance through the Commodity Supplemental Food Program in select Alabama and Florida counties. Food rescue efforts also connect the food bank and partner agencies with wholesome donated groceries from retailers, while farmer partnerships and gleaning help provide fresh produce to communities in need.

People seeking local help can use the official pantry and distribution finder to identify resources and confirm current details. NHREA’s Alabama assistance resources and federal assistance guide may provide additional starting points. Visit Feeding the Gulf Coast for program information and ways to support hunger-relief work.
