Junior League of Birmingham’s First Responders Lunch

The Junior League of Birmingham will be hosting a First Responders Lunch to honor those who serve in the Birmingham community. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 17, first responders such as police officers, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, nurses, essential workers and others are invited to come and pick up a complimentary lunch during the event courtesy of the JLB and Texas Roadhouse. ​The 100 meals will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. First responders will be asked to show appropriate ID verification when picking up lunch. The Hoover Police and Fire Departments will be in attendance. First responders can also receive a discounted general admission Market Noel ticket for $12.

The First Responders Lunch is one of many Market Noel events throughout the week, including Preview Noel, JLB Hearts Birmingham, Cheers to 100 Years, Brunch with the Big Guy and Milk and Cookies in addition to the Market Noel holiday shopping event itself at The Finley Center. The market features more than 100 stores from across the Southeast and includes high quality items like home decor, clothing and accessories, gift and holiday items, food and much more.

Proceeds from Market Noel go directly back into the community through the JLB’s 26 community projects those in need in the Birmingham community. The purchase of one $15 general admission Market Noel ticket can buy 90 meals through the Community Food Bank’s Mobile Pantry. Five tickets to Preview Noel help raise enough money to start a “period pantry” at a local school for guidance counselors to distribute when needed. One child’s ticket to Brunch with the Big Guy provides 40 diapers to an infant or toddler in need through the JLB’s Diaper Bank. One adult ticket to Brunch with the Big Guy can purchase a new outfit for a sexual assault victim who’s given their clothing up as evidence.
