Disaster response

When life is upended.
Neighbors show up.

Food, water, and practical support can make the next step easier after a tornado, flood, fire, or other local emergency.

Local people. Local response.

Ready to help
our community recover.

Selma Area Food Bank works with emergency-management agencies, churches, first responders, and nonprofit partners across Dallas, Marengo, Perry, and Wilcox counties.

That support can reach temporary distribution sites, shelters, recovery centers, and mobile feeding operations. The food bank prepares through emergency supplies and coordination with its partners.

Practical help in difficult days

The essentials.
Where they’re needed.

Food & water.

Emergency food boxes, ready-to-eat items, bottled water, and hydration supplies help meet immediate needs.

Everyday necessities.

Hygiene and household cleanup supplies can support families during recovery.

Care that reaches farther.

Partners help connect older adults, veterans, and homebound neighbors with support.
