Outreach & Partnerships
The Birmingham Dames are pleased to partner with various area organizations whose missions align with our own.
Outreach
We support high school students participating in ProStart competitions. We've hosted educational seminars and classes for GirlSpring girls. And we've provided scholarships for female summer campers at Jones Valley Teaching Farm.
We've happily volunteered as judges for the Cahaba River Society’s annual Fry Down, Episcopal Place’s popular Gumbo Gala, Bare Hands Inc.'s Taco Fest, state ProStart competitions, Sidewalk Film Festival's Salsa Showdown, the Alabama Seafood Cook-off and more.
Partnerships
We regularly volunteer at the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama, and we’ve partnered with that organization to raise awareness and money to assist food-insecure families in our state. Each spring, we work alongside the Food Bank to produce their beautiful and successful Feast for Hope gala in the Food Bank warehouse. And, together, we've awarded scholarships to college students who are working to feed people in their communities.
Additionally, we volunteer each month with The WellHouse to teach valuable nutrition and kitchen skills to survivors of sex trafficking.
