Wharf, Pepsi donate $5K to feed Alabama children

The Wharf and Buffalo Rock Pepsi recently donated $5,000 to Alabama Credit Union’s Secret Meals for Hungry Children program, which provides non-perishable meals to Alabama children on the weekends throughout the school year. Approximately 2,500 students living in Alabama and Northwest Florida are receiving Secret Meals food packs for the weekend. Many children rely heavily on free and reduced meals while at school. However, the weekends create a nutritional gap leaving many children hungry when they return to school on Monday. It cost approximately $140 to feed one child for an entire school year. The Wharf’s Anchor Campaign has donated more than $150,000 to various charities since 2021.
