FOLEY, Ala. – Secret Meals for Hungry Children, a program founded by Alabama Credit Union, will host a new community event, Strike Out Hunger, on Saturday, Aug. 23 at Gulf Bowl in Foley. This family-friendly event aims to raise funds to provide weekend food packs to children facing food insecurity across South Alabama and Northwest Florida.
