Alabama NewsCenter — Community volunteers, Alabama Power, help put food on the table for needy families in the Wiregrass

The Wiregrass Area Food Bank recently received a bounty of 30,000 meals to help feed families in need, thanks to the muscle of community volunteers and support from Alabama Power.

The volunteer service project helped kick off this year’s Pacesetter campaign for Wiregrass United Way.

Volunteers from throughout the Wiregrass United Way’s six-county region, including members of the Alabama Power Service Organization, packaged the 30,000 meals with support from a grant from Alabama Power. Each package was designed to feed a family of three and contained the ingredients to make soup, including beans, rice and seasonings.
