How It Started

A food bank built from the ground up, for our neighbors

Studio Cast One Corp has spent years amplifying community voices through SCO Nonprofit Radio — broadcasting food drives, connecting donors with families, and shining a light on hunger in our region. But broadcasting about hunger was never enough. The mission demanded more than airtime. It demanded action.

So Studio Cast One Corp took the next step: opening SCO Food Bank in Daleville, AL — a real, physical pantry where families can walk in, receive fresh groceries, and leave with dignity. This is what it looks like when a media organization decides that telling the story is only the beginning.

We didn't start because we had resources. We started because a neighbor was hungry and we had hands.

Omar M.

Omar M.

Founder & Executive Director

Omar founded Studio Cast One Corp and launched SCO Nonprofit Radio before turning his community platform into action — opening SCO Food Bank in Daleville, AL. He oversees daily operations, community partnerships, and fundraising, and he shows up every distribution day to greet neighbors personally. His belief: if you have a microphone and a community, you have a responsibility to use both.
