“My wife and I, and my brother and his wife, and a gentleman from Birmingham named Harry Kampakis, we all owned this building together,” said Joe Mussafer of Montgomery.The Selma Area Food Bank moved into it’s current location — back in 2019.“Obviously none of knew what was coming. And had no idea what we needed to be prepared for. But this building enabled us to be prepared.”
COVID-19 hit the whole country hard. And the food bank was ready and able to help thousands of families — by hosting drive-thru food giveaways. As well as providing the food — to given away at others.“We’d have been shut down for the duration of the lock down. So, it enabled us to keep going, especially when food got so scarce.”“We now have a much larger freezer and cooler. So, we’re able to move product as it comes in to Montgomery down here to Selma.
