Food Pantry: Thursdays from 10:00 A.M. — Noon

The African Universal Church, located in Daphne, AL, is a childcare facility that supervises and cares for children. Daycare services support parents and guardians by caring for children too young to be left alone, most often children too young to attend school or school-aged children that require before or after school care.

From birth through adulthood, we have programs and a highly-skilled, compassionate staff who can help assess your situation and provide the most appropriate treatment, therapies, and services. Whatever we can do to help you reach your maximum potential, we’ll be with you and your family all the way.
