We provide services beginning 8:30 a.m. Monday-Thursday and close for services at noon.
Donation drop-off hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM.
After-hours drop-offs can be arranged by calling the center at (256) 686-4423 or texting/calling Brad at +1 (256) 654-6371.
For drop-offs, please ring the doorbell if the sign indicates “CLOSED.” Someone is usually there doing after hours chores.
Please refrain from leaving donations outside the door or in the pantry.
We are also seeking volunteer cook teams willing to prepare a meal at their own location and serve it at HAD once a month.
Every donation, financial gift, and hour of service makes a meaningful difference.
Thank you for helping us provide dignity, nourishment, comfort, and hope to our unhoused and underserved neighbors.
