It is estimated that one in eight neighbors in Northwest Arkansas faces hunger and food insecurity, sparking the work of multiple organizations in the region to address this problem of hunger.

• Take it to the bank: The Northwest Arkansas Food Bank has made a significant impact on the community – distributing 14m pounds of food in 2021 – and is always seeking volunteers to serve in their warehouse, community garden, and mobile pantries around the area.
• From the source: Also combating food insecurity in the area is Lifesource International in Fayetteville, which opens its food pantry to the public Mon, Wed, and Thur from 8:30-11:30a and Mon and Thur from 6-7p. Lifesource also provides programs for adult education, clothing, and after-school care.
