Beat Auburn
Beat Hunger
Food Drive
Beat Auburn Beat Hunger (BABH) is an annual student-run food drive created by the University of Alabama’s Center for Service and Leadership (CSL) and the West Alabama Food Bank in 1994. During the seven weeks leading up to the Iron Bowl, the BABH food drive unites University of Alabama students, faculty, staff, alumni, and Tuscaloosa and Northport community members to help fight hunger and poverty in West Alabama.
In competition with Auburn University and the Food Bank of East Alabama, BABH challenges both institutions to collect the most food and monetary donations to help their local food bank. This good-natured competition has made an impact that reaches far beyond the campuses where it began. Since its inception, Alabama and Auburn have combined to raise over 12 million pounds of food for Alabamians in need!
Donation barrels are placed on UA’s campus, local schools, business as well as neighborhood food drives, fundraisers at local restaurants and community events each October and November.
Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated. Donations can be made here.
