Bids Brews Beats

On Saturday, August 26, Alabama Credit Union and the event presenting sponsor, Coldwell Banker Coastal Realty, will host the 9th annual Bids, Brews, and Beats to benefit Secret Meals For Hungry Children. Guests are invited to attend this free event at the Foley Farmers Market from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event will consist of a live auction, refreshments, and a live music performance from Journey to Mars. An online silent auction will also be held from August 18-26. Businesses are invited to sponsor this event.

In 2008, Alabama Credit Union started Secret Meals For Hungry Children with just 18 schoolchildren. Today, the Secret Meals program serves over 2,500 children across the state by quietly slipping packages of food into their backpacks every Friday. Along the Alabama Gulf Coast and Perdido Key area, we?re serving Gulf Shores Elementary, Fairhope Elementary, Pleasant Grove Elementary, Foley Elementary, and Swift Elementary, totaling 200 children receiving weekend food packs through Secret Meals with plans to add additional schools this coming school year.
