The Wharf, Pepsi Donate To Hungry Children Program

As part of the Wharf Summer Nights series, The Wharf and Birmingham-based Buffalo Rock Pepsi announced a $5,000 donation to Alabama Credit Union’s Secret Meals for Hungry Children program, which provides nonperishable meals to Alabama children on the weekends throughout the school year. From May 26 to July 30, Wharf Summer Nights included recurring events each night of the week aimed to provide free, fun activities for the entire family. For the sixth year, The Wharf and Pepsi teamed up to add a charity component, agreeing to each donate $5 for every child who completed the hunt to the Secret Meals program. Approximately 2,500 students living in Alabama and Northwest Florida are receiving Secret Meals food packs for the weekend. Each food pack contains two breakfasts, two lunches and two snacks. The Wharf’s Anchor Campaign has donated more than $350,000 to local nonprofits and organizations along the Gulf Coast since 2021.
