MISSION
The 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.
In 2016, united by a common goal to fight hunger in Arkansas, the Arkansas Foodbank and Arkansas Rice Depot joined together to better fulfill their shared mission of providing hungry Arkansans with more healthy and nutritious food. Mindful of our roots, the new organization recognizes the successful history of both entities. Uniting the two organizations creates one that is stronger going forward and better able to serve those in need.
