Who We Are
Friends of Hale County is a faith-rooted nonprofit serving families and communities throughout Alabama’s Black Belt and beyond.
Menu
Friends of Hale County was formed in 2003 to meet real needs across Hale County and the surrounding Black Belt region — from education and housing to medical care, churches, recreation, and the arts.
Friends of Hale County began with a simple mission: love your neighbor in practical, meaningful ways.
What started as an effort focused on Hale County grew into a wider outreach now reaching 27 counties — 25 in Alabama and two in Mississippi.
The organization works to support communities facing deep challenges while keeping its primary goal centered on demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ.
Supporting opportunities that help students, schools, and families move forward.
Helping improve quality of life through practical support and community partnerships.
Working alongside others to address needs that affect the whole person.
Investing in places that bring hope, connection, and lasting support.
