About this organization
Mission
Arkansas Foodbank is the foundation in the fight against hunger. We find pathways to connect people, resources and food to reach those in need, providing dignity, hope and a brighter future for all Arkansans.
About
Our food for families program focuses on connecting our partner agencies with local, state and national resources with food and funds to strengthen their programs, ultimately enabling them to better serve their community. To do this, we employ the following tactics: work to provide access to healthy and nutritious food to families; partner with nearly 320 agencies that include community pantries, soup kitchens and shelters across 33 counties; provide mini-grants to build agency capacity that can serve as food credits and/or purchase equipment; implement our local partner development initiative (LPDI), a program piece designed to involve local residents and resources to address hunger relief on a local community level; conduct foodbank university training sessions to improve pantry services through an array of best practice topics; design and implement new program initiatives to tackle barriers to food security.
