A little history about Dinner in the Streets

Dinner in the Streets
At Dinner in the Streets before COVID. (Salvation Army of Greater Birmingham)

Dinner in the Streets first offered its “open-air” dining experience to neighbors in 2018, when the inaugural event was held in the historic Avondale community outside of Redeemer Community Church. 

In 2019, the event, which raises awareness about the daily programs offered at The Center of Hope, relocated to First Avenue South, between 14th and 16th Streets South, next to Railroad Park and Regions Field.

Then COVID hit and the event, like so many others, was put on hold for 2020 and 2021.

Now, it’s back to benefit a fantastic cause—the Salvation Army’s Center of Hope.
