Great Things are Happening at ACFS

Publix Super Markets Charities Supports ACFS with a $5,000 Donation

We are thrilled to announce that Publix Super Markets Charities has generously donated $5,000 to support our Children’s Weekend Food Backpack Program. This program provides essential weekend meals and snacks to children in need across central Alabama. Each week, an average of 2,500 backpacks are distributed to 38 schools and six Boys & Girls Clubs, bridging the gap for families with limited access to food during weekends.

Publix Super Markets Charities, established by Publix founder Mr. George Jenkins, is dedicated to improving lives in the communities it serves. Their belief in our mission to fight childhood hunger is evident in their support.

We are incredibly grateful to Publix Super Markets Charities for partnering with us to fill a vital need and ensure children in our community don’t go hungry. Together, we are making a difference!

The 7th annual ACFS Charity Golf Tournament, held on Tuesday, October 1st, raised an impressive $85,209.84—the largest amount ever raised! What an incredible achievement and a testament to the dedication of ACFS and its generous sponsors. This contribution will make a tremendous difference in fighting food insecurity across Central Alabama, providing essential support to neighbors in need. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success! OCTOBER 7, 2025, SAVE THE DATE FOR NEXT YEAR!

"I have volunteered in children's ministry at my church for many years and speak in schools daily. I understand better than most the urgent need for an organization like Alabama Childhood Food Solutions. So many people are struggling now, and food insecurity is very real. And, not just in low-income communities. Karen and I have supported ACFS over the years as the needs are widespread and urgent.

We are all here to help other people and there is no better way to help Alabama families in need. I promise you will be blessed by getting involved with ACFS!"
