Latino families in Alabama receive 500 Boston Butts this Christmas

In Birmingham, Alabama, Abogados Centro Legal and Mi Pueblo Supermarket have organized a charitable initiative to support local Latino families during the holiday season. On December 18 and 19, 2024, they will distribute a total of 500 Boston Butts, a popular dish known for its festive appeal, at their supermarket locations. The impact of this event extends beyond the food itself, as it aims to bring joy and togetherness to families who may struggle to afford a celebratory meal during Christmas time. Last year, this collaboration successfully assisted over 300 families, which highlights the increasing demand and importance of such community efforts. The distribution will take place with 250 units available each day, with the first occurring on December 18 at Mi Pueblo Supermarket's Pelham location starting at 1:00 PM, followed by a second distribution on December 19 at the Homewood location beginning at 10:00 AM. As this is a free event, participation will be limited to one unit per family and is organized on a first-come, first-served basis. Leaders of both organizations, E. Nathan Harris and Dulce Victoria Rivera, emphasized their commitment to giving back to the Latino community in Alabama. Their initiative reflects a dedication not just to feeding families but also to enhancing the community spirit during the holidays. The gratitude expressed by previous recipients underscores the event's positive impact, fostering a sense of unity and celebration among families who participate. This program not only addresses immediate food insecurity but also serves to strengthen community ties, illustrating how local businesses can play a vital role in the well-being of their neighborhoods. As they prepare for this year's distribution, anticipation builds, and the organizers hope to exceed last year's success, further cementing their place as pivotal supporters of the Latina community during the holiday season.
