💦 Today we had a visit from MaDe Water - The Water Store, and they donated 240 water bottles to the CCC!! 😄 We are so grateful for their support! During the summer months, we especially need water to give out to our homeless friends. 🙏

🍂 Please share this awesome fundraiser: Scarecrows In The Park! 🍂The CCC is grateful to be receiving funding from this amazing project to support our infants!

💕 This year we are so excited to announce that we will be partnering with Junior League of Morgan County to bring back our Newborn Baby Box Program!! 🍼🧸 In the past, we had a group of ladies who would make these boxes and fill them with pacifiers, formula, soap, diapers, wipes, bottles, swaddles, and a couple of outfits. They were such a blessing to our community, and now, with the help of the wonderful ladies of JLMC, we are bringing them back! ☺️We are so grateful for this partnership, and we can't wait to see what this year holds for both of our missions!!

🍂🎃 Scarecrows In The Park is so close! 🎃🍂

It’s almost time for one of our FAVORITE fall traditions! The Junior League of Morgan County’s Scarecrows in the Park is taking over Veterans Park in Priceville, and we can’t wait to see all the creative, spooky, silly, and downright adorable scarecrows! 🧡🌾

Whether you’re a business, organization, family, or just want to get creative, this is your chance to show off your fall spirit and be part of a community favorite!

📅 Scarecrows in the Park: October 1–31
📍 Veterans Park | Priceville, AL
⏰ Registration ends September 19!

💙 And this year, it’s all for a great cause!
Proceeds from Scarecrows in the Park will help support the Committee on Church Cooperation’s Newborn Baby Project, which provides essential items to local new mothers and their newborn babies. 👶🍼💕

So grab your family, business, organization, or friends and get creative! Every scarecrow helps us give back to families in our community. 🧡

🎃 Don’t miss Trick or Treat with the Scarecrows on October 10! We’ll have an evening full of fall fun, food, music, candy, and more! 🍬🎶

✨ Program Spotlight ✨

We are starting a monthly Program Spotlight Series to make sure that everyone knows all of the programs that we offer. We have frequently heard that not many people know that we do more than just provide food and clothing. We provide almost a little of everything!

🍅🍞🍛 This Month's Spotlight Is Our Largest Program: The Food Pantry 🍌🍗🍓

We provide food to anyone who needs it in Morgan County, AL regardless of income. The CCC gets food from a number of places, but the majority of our perishable food is rescued from local grocery stores and restaurant partners. We rescue food 6 days a week, typically equating to around 5,000lbs a week. While food rescue accounts for the vast majority of the fresh food we give out, the canned/ dry food staples in our pantry are provided by drives and donations from the community. These are vital to ensure that our clients, especially the homeless, are able to get food through our program.

Each food order is scaled to the size of the family, and provides roughly 2-3 weeks of dairy, meat, produce, canned goods, and bakery items. During the summer, we also provide extra food to families with children who are temporarily not eating at schools during the day. Those who are homeless receive what we call a "travel bag" which contains a share of the shelf stable foods, prepared foods, and produce we have available. We are grateful for several churches and businesses who occasionally drop off their uneaten catering leftovers, as those make for a true treat for our weekly homeless visitors.

We partner with the Food Bank of North AL and Feeding America for guidance on our program structures, grocery partnerships, and to maintain safety standards. In an effort to reduce waste of inedible foods, we also partner with a local farmer to feed his livestock. In all, our food pantry/homeless/summer feeding programs alone touched the lives of more than 8,700 neighbors* in 2025 and accounted for more than $2 MILLION dollars in food value distributed to the community alone.
