Food insecurity is a real problem for thousands of Arkansans who are struggling right now with unemployment and lost income because of the coronavirus.

The Arkansas Extension Homemakers Council is raising money to provide 1 million meals. It’s part of our “Nourishing our Roots; Nurturing our Future” campaign to help fellow Arkansans.

We’re partnering with food banks across the state to leverage our food buying power. Just $1 can help provide anywhere from 4 to 10 meals.

Please consider making a donation today at uaex.edu/EHC.

Your gift will go directly to the food bank of your choice and may just mean the difference between someone having a meal or going without.
