Open Door Church Food Ministry Birmingham, AL 35224 205.781.6060	Details: To have food on hand and available for those in need who call or ask for food assistance. As those needing food apply, we want to represent Jesus through our love and caring in the hope of showing that He is the Provider and the answer for all our needs. Our purpose is to present the Lord in such a way that all will seek Him and turn to Him. To accomplish this purpose, food is purchased from United Way Community Food Bank, and regular distributions are made twice each month. In between distribution dates, food is distributed on an emergency basis as calls are received. Canned food, dry food items, fresh fruit and vegetables (as available), frozen meat (as available) and fresh or frozen bread and bakery items are distributed to those who apply. Qualification to receive food is based upon the income a family receives (according to guidelines furnished by United Way). After applications are received, free refreshments are provided followed by a service with music and preaching. At the conclusion of the service, each personâ€™s food is placed in their vehicle. We tell people that the food we distribute will feed them for a few days, but Jesus will satisfy them for a lifetime. Food is distributed the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, except in December when the distribution is made on the second Tuesday only. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. and closes at 10:00 a.m.

Asbury United Methodist Church Food Pantry Birmingham, AL 35242 205.995.1700	Details: The Food Pantry at Asbury was started due to the dream of several members of our Missions In Action Committee. There was a desire to serve those who were unable to provide enough food for their families due to financial hardships and responsibilities. We opened the Food Pantry in June 2012 with the vision to feed those who were hungry. We do not screen the families who come to our Food Pantry. It is our belief that there are families in our area who may fall through the cracks in being eligible for assistance, and we feel that Christ asks us to feed those who come without questions, just acceptance. We are open on Wednesday afternoons from 2:00 to 3:30 in Campus 1. Since opening we have served in excess of 150 families representing over 750 people. Families may come every other week to receive food. The Asbury Food Pantry provides groceries for approximately twenty local families each week. An average of 440 cans of food is distributed to members of our community weekly. During the holidays, we also provide each family with a Thanksgiving and Christmas meal. The people who visit the food pantry are individuals from various socioeconomic backgrounds and live in the local community. Many of these families would go hungry without the help this ministry provides.
