For the 61st year, Praise 93.3’s beloved morning host Brother J is rallying the Tuscaloosa community to stock the West Alabama Food Bank ahead of Thanksgiving. Since the first drive in 1965, the annual effort has become a cornerstone of local charitable giving, and this year’s campaign is already shaping up to be another success.
How to Donate
Donations can be delivered to Townsquare Media’s office at 142 Skyland Boulevard East in Tuscaloosa, located between Shark’s Restaurant and the U‑Haul facility. The drop‑off window runs Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents are asked to bring non‑perishable food items such as canned goods, boxed meals, and other shelf‑stable products.
Why the Drive Matters
The West Alabama Food Bank relies on community contributions to provide meals for families facing food insecurity. In 2021, the drive collected more than 2,000 pounds of food, directly supporting neighbors across the region. Brother J emphasizes that every contribution, whether a single can or a hundred items, makes a tangible difference for local households during the holiday season.
Community Support
Local businesses, churches, and individual listeners have consistently answered Brother J’s call each November. The drive not only supplies essential nutrition but also reinforces the spirit of generosity that defines West Alabama. By uniting listeners, businesses, and volunteers, the effort exemplifies the community‑first values that many Tuscaloosa families hold dear.
Looking Ahead
The food drive will continue through the days leading up to Thanksgiving, with the West Alabama Food Bank scheduled to collect the donations shortly before the holiday. Organizers encourage residents to act early, ensuring that the food bank has ample time to sort and distribute the contributions to families in need.
Join the Tradition
Brother J invites all Tuscaloosa residents to participate in this long‑standing tradition. By donating non‑perishable items, community members help guarantee that more families have food on their tables and a reason to give thanks this holiday season.
