#FeedTheFirehouse Spring Food Drive





It's that time once again folks! The  Firehouse Shelter needs the assistance of our community.
On May 6th, The Magic City Bloggers are partnering with World of Beer in order to collect food to fill the shelves at this local Birmingham shelter.

The shelter provides hot meals to thousands of people and could definitely use your help.

So check your cabinets or throw a few extras in on your next shopping trip. If you'd like to team up with your friends, churches or neighbors, the shelter can definitely use your help at ANY time.

For more information on the shelter, please visit

http://www.firehouseshelter.com/ or call them at (205) 252-9571

Check out the menu at World of Beer http://worldofbeer.com/TavernMenus/FivePoints

Let's unite to #FeedTheFireHouse

See you at the food drive.

Please share this article with your friends & family.

Thanks for reading,

The 2015 Gumbo Gala Review in Pictures



The 2015 Gumbo Gala was a huge success. Despite the threat of rain, there were massive crowds in attendance.

The Gumbo Gala is an annual gumbo cook-off competition benefitting the residents of Episcopal Place in Birmingham.

I had a wonderful time and look forward to the 2016 event. *Please share the link to this page with anyone that you may recognize from the photos.
Thanks to everyone who posed for me =)
