Interested in joining us? Becoming a partner is an easy process.

1. Check here to see if your food program, church, or 501c3 non-profit is located in our 11-county service area in North Alabama.

2. Download and complete an Agency Application

3. Upon submitting your completed application, we will review it and get in touch to inform you of its status.

4. If your application is approved, we will arrange a site visit to your facility for an inspection and to discuss food safety as well as the specific needs of your program.

**To ensure that our resources are allocated as fairly as possible, applications may be placed on a waitlist in regions with a high number of active agency partners.

5. Following this, you and your essential staff or volunteers will be scheduled to attend our Partner Feeding Program Orientation, held once a month. During the Orientation, you’ll gain insights into the Food Bank, engage in a food safety training session, and learn about best practices for effectively managing a charitable food program.

6. Once all these steps have been completed, you will be approved to source food from the Food Bank of North Alabama as an official Agency Partner!
