So many residents in West Alabama are in need with food insecurity and SNAP benefits being on hold. Many organizations are stepping up to assist residents in their time of need.

A local church in Tuscaloosa will host a food give away this upcoming weekend. The "Strength in Unity" Community Food Give-A-Way will take place Sunday, November 16th, 2:00-3:30 p.m. The event is hosted by Bethel Missionary Baptist Church.

Residents are invited to drive-up or walk-up for food.

"If you or someone you know is in need, please come and be blessed - all are welcome! Together, we can share hope, lend a helping hand, and strengthen the bonds that unite our community," Bethel Missionary Baptist Church Pastor Rev. Dennis L. Moore said in a press release sent to Townsquare Media.

In addition to free food (while supplies last), there will be a prayer tent for anyone seeking encouragement or spiritual support, a job resource tent offering employment information and opportunities, and several other community partners providing valuable local resources to help meet a variety of needs.
