Letter from the President:
War Eagle!
For the past 26 years, the Beat Bama Food Drive has worked to fight food insecurity here in Auburn while competing against the University of Alabama and Beat Auburn Beat Hunger. Each year we raise hundreds of thousands of pounds of food to give back to our communities. It is such a special way to bring the state of Alabama together in the name of rivalry to help our neighbors.
The sky seems to be the limit when Auburn people get to work. Many people today are so focused on global issues, which is great, but somewhere along the way, hardship at home is often overlooked. It’s heartbreaking to think that a mother in our area may not be able to do something as simple as feed her child. The Auburn Family has ample resources to step in and help to end the stress and struggle many families in Lee County face.
Raising awareness and giving back to this community so rooted in family values is an amazing opportunity to serve — one that I hold dear and treasure as president.
