Nonprofit asks Foley board to allow weekend food bags for students
Summary
Eric Allen of Phases Family Support asked the board to permit the Albany Weekend Food Program to distribute free weekend food bags through Foley schools; Allen said the program would be provided at no cost to the district.
Eric Allen, vice president of Phases Family Support, told the Foley Public School District board the Albany Weekend Food Program provides bags of food for students to take home and asked whether the district would allow the program to expand into Foley schools. Allen said the program's purpose is "to provide free food for students/families on the weekends" and stated there would be no cost to the district.
The request was presented during the open forum portion of the Aug. 18, 2025 meeting; the minutes record the organization's purpose and that it facilitates the Albany Weekend Food Program (a weekend bag distribution) but do not show a board decision on the request. The board's minutes list names of those present and record routine business actions later in the meeting, but they do not indicate a vote or staff directive regarding the nonprofit's request.
