If your food pantry or soup kitchen in Houston, Henry, Dale, Coffee, Geneva, or Barbour counties received donations from the Stamp Out Hunger food drive this past weekend, would you mind sharing your totals with the Wiregrass Area Food Bank? This is strictly for record-keeping purposes. The food collected is intended to stay in the community where it was collected. We just like to brag on the National Association of Letter Carriers. Thank you!

Thank you WTVY News 4 for stopping by to talk about the annual National Association of Letter Carriers' Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive taking place on Saturday.

Just leave a bag of canned goods at your mailbox on Saturday and your letter carrier will do the rest!

The 34th annual food drive's goal is to collect food to supply partner pantries throughout the region.

THANK YOU!!!

Our community showed up in a big way to help us spread the love through our 4th Annual Jars of Love Peanut Butter Drive! 🥜

Thanks to your generosity, we collected more than 2,100 jars of peanut butter to help stock the shelves of the Wiregrass Area Food Bank and support families facing hunger right here at home.

We’re especially grateful for our community partners who helped make this possible:

🥜 DSI Security Services
🥜 First United Methodist Church of Dothan Weekday Program
🥜 Wiregrass United Way
🥜 Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce

Press Release from New South Cruisers: On Thursday morning, March 12th, the Wiregrass Area Food Bank received a generous cash donation of $3,100 from the New South Cruisers Inc., a 501(c)(3) vintage automobile club based in Dothan, AL.

These funds represent the profits from the 2nd Annual Jakes Antiques, Bottle, & Advertising Show and Vintage Car Show held recently at the National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds.

Mrs. Julie Gonzalez, CEO of the Food Bank, expressed her sincere gratitude for the donation. She noted that this contribution will provide 34,444 lbs. of food, which equates to approximately 26,910 meals. This support is increasingly critical as budgets are stretched thin due to recent global turmoil and rising gas and energy prices.

The New South Cruisers are already looking forward to next year’s show. We hope for great weather and an even larger turnout to facilitate an even higher donation in the future.

Club members from l to r are: Ken Barfield (Board Member, Linda Barfield (Treasurer), Bruce Allen ( External VP), and Steve Lowery (Internal VP)
