Arkansas Foodbank
Arkansas Foodbank is a nonprofit organization focused on food, agriculture, and nutrition. It is based in Little Rock, AR. It received its nonprofit status in 1984.
Most of us have never been hungry.
Our children have never had to rely on getting a backpack from school with food to last through the weekend. We’ve never had to get food from a food pantry, or rely on volunteers to deliver food boxes because we’re shut in and elderly.
Yet there are more than 515,000 children, seniors and families in Arkansas who don’t know where their next meal will come from.
We work to make sure those that are most hungry, have plenty of nutritious food.
