Samaritan Community Center Fighting Childhood Hunger In NWA

Samaritan Community Center

Every weekend, thousands of children in Northwest Arkansas experience hunger without access to food from school cafeterias. Samaritan Community Center is taking action to alleviate childhood hunger through its SnackPacks for Kids program.

  • In the bag; Every week, SCC packs nearly 6,000 bags with eight healthy snacks to be distributed through 170 schools across Northwest Arkansas each Friday to children who are at risk for food insecurity over the weekend.
  • Take snack-tion: It costs approximately $3 to provide one child with a SnackPack each weekend. Join the fight against hunger by making a monthly donation, donating snacks, or hosting a food drive!
