Members of the Birmingham City Council last week volunteered at the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama and loaded five palettes — 351 boxes of food — which will feed 351 families for a week.
Councilor Crystal N. Smitherman partnered with New Hope Baptist Church and the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama to provide holiday food boxes to more than 100 families this weekend.
“This past week, my colleagues and I on the Council were able to stock over 350 food boxes at the Community Food Bank,” Smitherman said. “So to be able to see this process through, and be out here with our neighbors today, it’s a really special time. This is what the season is all about: spreading love and gratitude throughout our communities.”
