Our Mission | Our History | Our Need |
|---|---|---|
We go beyond feeding the hungry at the Food Bank of North Central Arkansas. By partnering with hunger relief organizations, we meet immediate needs with food and groceries, and then provide education and training to address long term needs. Our classes and training include Cooking Matters, Getting Ahead, Bridges Out of Poverty, and Poverty Simulations. | The Food Bank of North Central Arkansas started as the Norfork Community Care Program, serving flood victims and rescue workers in 1982. With the help of volunteers and the Salvation Army, Alice and Hubert Ayers established a soup kitchen. Today, the Food Bank distributes 5.2 million pounds of food annually as an Affiliate Member of Feeding America, with a focus on education for the communities served. | Feeding America states that roughly 5.2 million pounds of food would be required annually to fill the meal gap in North Central Arkansas. In 2023, we distributed more than 4 million pounds of food to address the need. |
It is the policy and practice of the Food Bank of North Central Arkansas to never sell, rent, exchange or in any other way provide correspondent or donor information to other charitable or commercial entities, except as is required to accomplish The Food Bank’s functions. Vendors that have temporary access to correspondent and donor information are expressly forbidden to copy, use or transfer any information provided by The Food Bank for any reason to any source.
