MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Saturday, Alabama State University hosted a charity event that helped provide food and masks for people in need.
Saint James Holt Crossing Baptist Church partnered with other churches and charitable organizations for the event.
The Montgomery Baptist Association estimates they helped provide more than 300 bags and boxes of food, along with pet food for those with animals.
“What we do since this pandemic, since COVID started, we’ve been doing at least once a month, we’ve been giving out food to the community. So we just have a desire to just help as many people as we possibly can. We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and we believe that this is one of ways that we’re able to do it,” said Saint James Holt Cross

On Saturday, February 20, the public is invited to drive to the parking lot of Alabama State University’s Stadium to obtain free reusable cloth face masks to help protect them from COVID-19. The donations are part of a partnership between ASU and the Power of Life Foundation.
The giveaway is open to the public. Because of COVID-19 considerations, volunteers will bring masks, food and information pamphlets to the attendees, who will
be required to remain in their cars.
The partnership has more 30,000 free face masks to give away beginning at 11 a.m. and continuing until 2 p.m., according to Kenneth Waters, marketing and communications coordinator with ASU’s Division of Marketing and Strategic Communications.
