Yes it feels slightly illegal to talk about Back to School before this school year is even over, but here we are!
We know how quickly those school supply lists (and costs) add up for families.

SEA’s Back to School Drive is officially underway, and we need your help! All of the backpacks have been donated by a generous partner, we just need your help filling them up with essential supplies!

Every week, an amazing group of volunteers helps make sure good food goes to our neighbors instead of the landfill. 💙

Through SEA’s food recovery program, we partner with local Publix stores and Chick-fil-A Calera to recover food that would otherwise go to waste. That food is then sorted, stocked, and shared with families and individuals who come to SEA for support.

From fresh produce to bread, dairy, prepared foods, and more-- these donations help stretch our pantry resources and provide extra nourishment to our community.

And even the produce that’s no longer usable doesn’t go to waste…local cows get to enjoy it! 🐄

To every volunteer who unloads, sorts, weighs, stocks, and serves with a smile, thank you. This wouldn’t happen without you. You are helping feed our neighbors, reduce waste, and care for our community!

Help us keep good food out of the landfill and on the tables of our neighbors.

We need a few volunteers tomorrow (May 1st) from 10:30–11:30 AM to help with Food Recovery. You'll help with unloading, weighing, and stocking rescued food so it can be shared with families in our community.

It’s a simple way to reduce waste and do a lot of good in just one hour.

Quick ask, friends!

We’re ready to get ESL and GED classes going at SEA, but we need the right person to make it happen.

Central Alabama Community College is hiring a Part-Time Adult Education Instructor (ESL/GED) in Montevallo (classes will take place right here at SEA!)

A bachelor’s degree is required, but teaching experience is not.

Know someone who’d be a great fit? Send them our way so we can get these classes started.
