What began as a few churches getting together in 1994 to form a volunteer organization to meet the benevolent needs of the Leeds area called Leeds Welfare Cooperative has become Leeds Outreach, a 501c3 non-profit organization that helps families in Leeds, Alabama with food, utilities, medicine, school supplies, and Christmas assistance. For over 30 years, Leeds Outreach has worked solely with volunteers and to date has no paid staff members, rent or other bills so 100% of your donation goes directly to assisting those in need throughout our community. We invite you to partner with us by your monetary or food donations as well as consider joining our volunteer team to carry out this important work. Your support and contributions enable us to meet our goals. Your generous donation will fund our mission.
