Hunger Action Month

This month, we kick off Hunger Action Month, a national campaign organized annually by Feeding America to raise awareness about food insecurity. Arkansas leads the nation in food insecurity, but this month-long initiative aims to change that. Orange is the color of hunger, so we are encouraging everyone to wear orange during September to raise awareness. We also urge Arkansans to volunteer, donate, and engage on social media to make a difference!

During Hunger Action Month, the Foodbank will organize volunteer opportunities, host a series of community events, and work to engage local companies and families to raise awareness about hunger in Arkansas. 

Central Arkansas Restaurant Month

Calling all food enthusiasts and restaurateurs: Arkansas Foodbank and KARK4’s highly anticipated Central Arkansas Restaurant Weeks is debuting September 9-20, 2024, coinciding with Hunger Action Month! 

This 12-day event provides Central Arkansas restaurants with the opportunity to showcase their venues and menus through culinary arts, inviting the public to enjoy their favorite eateries or try new ones – all while supporting our neighbors facing food insecurity in Central Arkansas.

How to get involved:

At each participating restaurant listed below, there is a special prix fixe menu or promotion item that is offered at a special price for the event. A portion of the proceeds of every meal or item will go to the Arkansas Foodbank to help us fight hunger in Central Arkansas. Ordering the special items will support local businesses and our community.
