Hunger Action Month
2023-09-01 - 2023-09-30
Why is Hunger Action Month Important?
September is Hunger Action Month — an annual campaign dedicated to driving awareness and inspiring action to help end hunger in America, both at a national scale and in local communities.
In central and southern Arkansas,1 in 6 Arkansans are food-insecure, which means they struggle to find sufficient access to nutritious food. When it comes to children, 1 in 5 are facing hunger, and in some rural areas, it’s even higher. It’s startling numbers like this that rank Arkansas second in the nation for food insecurity.
What We’re Doing This Month:

Take Action Now!
Mobilizing your community through any of the following actions below will help shine a light on the many individuals that are facing impossible choices. As individuals, nonprofits, businesses and government entities, each of us have role to play in eliminating hunger.

“Go Orange” by wearing your finest orange shirt, pants or accessories for Hunger Action Month and share a photo of yourself on social media. Tell others about the fight to end hunger using the hashtag #HungerActionMonth
Learn about hunger in your community: Visit MaptheMealGap.org and check the interactive map to zoom in on your specific community.
Use Your Voice! Through actions big and small, we all can take steps to move the needle on hunger. Visit FeedingAmericaAction.org for steps to become a local hunger advocate.

21st Annual Empty Bowls "Summer Salute"
2023-05-12 19:00 - 22:00
Theme: Summer Salute!
Date/Time: Friday, May 12, 7:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: Venue at Oakdale – Sherwood, AR
Chairs: Jordon and Matt Addison
Honoree: Jim Cargill

We will celebrate the 21st anniversary of Empty Bowls. Our Chairs Jordon and Matt Addison are busy planning their vision to transport our guests to a summer evening in Sicily. Through bright florals and warm playful colors, citrus fruits infused throughout the food, drinks, and tablespaces, aromas from rich pastas, warm cheeses. dense breads, and beautiful wines, we hope to bring the relaxed, indulgent, luxury of Italy to Arkansas for an evening benefiting the Arkansas Foodbank. We will encourage our guests to play along with our theme by wearing their best easy, breezy, dinner attire that they would imagine wearing when sitting on the patio of a divine Italian Ristorante Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea- bright warm colors, florals, and fruits, coastal blues, and light linens. Empty Bowls will honor a long-time supporter Jim Cargill, for his dedication to the Foodbank’s mission through Arvest Million Meals.

Chairs: Jordon and Matt Addison

Honoree: Jim Cargill

Just one dollar provides five meals to hungry Arkansans.
You can make a difference!
