"I believe one of the most effective ways government can help those in need is to help charities, faith-based organizations and community groups that are working every day to transform lives with acts of compassion. Government must stand with them and be on their side as they reach out to hurting neighbors in desperate need of our help.”
- Governor Bob Riley

"The people of Alabama have a lot of needs but we are blessed because our state is rich in natural resources like compassion, decency, and love. When government partners with faith and community based groups we can mentor more children, restore more families and change more lives."
