Ada Webb is a beacon of hope in Hale County, Alabama and beyond. As a dedicated community associate for the Black Belt Community Foundation (BBCF) for nearly a decade, she has devoted herself to uplifting her community and making a difference in the lives of those around her. Webb serves and leads across several levels of community health outreach and engagement. This includes her role as a Community Health Worker and County coordinator (for both Hale and Greene Counties) working with the University of Alabama at Birmingham through both its Office of Community Outreach and Engagement at the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center. Webb is also a BBCF Health, Outreach, Prevention and Education ambassador, serving as a key community link in both promoting and assuring vaccination access across the COVID-19 pandemic.
Webb's passion for community service was ignited by the creation of Sawyerville Christmas Ministries, which started with a mission of serving young mothers and grown into helping elders, cancer patients and survivors. For over three years, she has been a key figure in community revitalization efforts, storm relief and flood and tornado readiness; volunteering to make sure the community’s needs were being met while connecting people directly to information and aid resources provided by Federal Emergency Management Agency. One of Webb’s most recent projects is the establishment of Ada’s House of Refuge. This serves as a safe space for those that need a refuge in dealing with any number of life critical situations.
