We recently met Denise at one of our partner agencies. She was there picking up food to deliver to a family in need who was eating only hot dogs and fries every night because it's all they could afford. However, thanks to your support, we are able to supply food to our partner agencies who can then get nutritious food into the hands of our neighbors in need! Also in the news this month is plenty of great events, including our Ribbon Cutting Celebration on June 16th!

Your support of Feed America First is helping us expand distribution in North Alabama and partner with great agencies such as Huntsville's Downtown Rescue Mission, who served over 271,000 meals through 2016 alone.

Thanks to your support, Feed America First is able to supply 200+ partner agencies with food, such as the food bank of Goodlettsville Pentecostal Church. The food bank was started by Beth White in an effort to help our neighbors through their times of struggle; she herself knows what it feels like to be hungry. Read more about Beth, and other Feed America First news (we have officially moved into our new warehouse!) in this month's newsletter!
