The purpose of the food distribution was to help to alleviate hunger in select counties situated in the State of Arkansas. This hunger relief effort comes at a time when we are experiencing a national pandemic caused by the COVID19 virus.  The  targeted families were those that have been negatively impacted by the COVID19 virus which includes the unemployed,  low income families, the homeless, veterans, senior citizens and anyone in need of food subsidy.

The product that was distributed was made possible by a DHS Cares Act Round 2 grant and the Delta
