Since 1994, the Beat Bama Food Drive and the Food Bank of East Alabama have united students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members to help "fight" hunger and poverty in East Alabama by challenging the University of Alabama and the Food Bank of West Alabama to see who can collect more non-perishable food to help the needy. This good-natured competition has made an impact that reaches far beyond the campuses where it began. Since its inception in 1994, the competition has raised nearly 3 million pounds of food for Alabamians without enough to eat. Help us win the food fight trophy in East Alabama as we look to beat hunger and BEAT BAMA!
