Get Involved:
Whether you want to sponsor a food box, volunteer at a distribution site, or help spread the word, your support ensures that no veteran in our region is left behind. Together, we can deliver hope—one box at a time

“We can’t repay our veterans for what they’ve done—but we can make sure they never go hungry.”

Hope for Heroes Program

Honoring Those Who Served With the Support They Deserve

At the Selma Area Food Bank, we believe no hero should ever face hunger. That’s why we created the Hope for Heroes Program—a quarterly outreach initiative serving local veterans aged 60 and older who are living on limited incomes. Through this program, we provide nutritious food boxes tailored to support the health and well-being of those who once served our country.

Each quarter, our team prepares and distributes food directly to qualifying veterans across Dallas, Perry, Marengo, and Wilcox counties. These food boxes contain essential pantry staples, fresh produce when available, and items selected with the dietary needs of older adults in mind.

Hope for Heroes is more than a meal—it’s a message. A message that our veterans are not forgotten, that their service still matters, and that this community stands with them.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Age 60 or older

  • Proof of veteran status

  • Reside in one of our four service counties

  • Meet income eligibility requirements
