You can make a difference in fighting food insecurity in Northwest Arkansas by giving a year end tax-deductible contribution to the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank.

A gift to the Food Bank could change someone’s life and could make a real difference in Northwest Arkansas.

“As 2017 comes to a close, I ask you to join the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank in our mission to nourish Northwest Arkansas communities by feeding hungry people,” said Kent Eikenberry, president and CEO of the Food Bank. “If one dollar can provide 11 meals, imagine what your most generous donation will do.

“We are on pace to distribute nearly 13 million pounds of food in 2017,” he said. “Food that comes in one door of our warehouse, and out another door to one of more than 150 partner agencies who in turn give it to the food insecure of Northwest Arkansas.”

The Food Bank serves more than 150 allied agencies in Benton, Carroll, Madison and Washington counties.

Tax deductible gifts can be made at the Food Bank’s website at www.nwafoodbank.org.
