Hunger is an unwelcome guest in many Arkansas homes. It is estimated that on any given day more than 467,000 Arkansans do not have enough to eat. In Northeast Arkansas 62,540 people struggle with food insecurity.
Every day families in our communities are making hard choices:
- Food or gas to drive to work?
- Food or medicine?
- Food or my child’s doctor visit?
- Food or this month’s rent?
The Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas partners with charitable agencies throughout Northeast Arkansas to distribute food to families in need. While all of the network agencies are vital to alleviating hunger in our communities, the Food Bank plays a special role as the warehousing and distribution facility. Through this unique and collaborative relationship, the Food Bank complements rather than competes with the efforts of these agencies.
