Hunger in America 2010
Learn more about the local and national findings of Hunger in America 2010, the largest study ever conducted about domestic hunger.
Almost half a million Arkansans live in poverty.
The Arkansas Foodbank Network has been working since 1984 to eliminate hunger in Arkansas by providing nutritious food to those in need. In 2009, we distributed 14.2 million pounds: 11.6 million to our more than 400 member agencies in 33 Arkansas counties and 2.6 million to the state's other 5 Feeding America food banks. That's enough to fill up 473 semi-trailers. If you lined up those semis, they would stretch 5 miles! We handle 57,000 pounds of food per day. Ninety-three percent of everything the Foodbank receives is allocated to programs, enabling our agencies to serve about 23,000 hungry Arkansans in any given week.
Our Vision
Creating a community where no one has to go hungry
Our Mission
The Arkansas Foodbank Network is a cornerstone of hunger relief that acquires and distributes, through local and national partnerships, large quantities of food and other resources to hungry people.
