Baptist churches in Mobile are teaming up with other churches and organizations to put on the Mobile Festival of Hope to help needy people in the area Jan. 24.
The event at the city’s Ladd-Peebles Stadium will involve more than 1,200 volunteers and is expected to draw 8,000 people looking to take advantage of the free items, services and entertainment.
Seventy thousand pounds of groceries will be distributed. Samaritan’s Feet will give out 1,000 pairs of shoes, and Victory Health Partners will provide free health screenings.
There will be a sports component with local college athletes, Senior Bowl participants and some NFL personnel to draw people to the family-friendly environment.
