Arkansas Community Advocates will have volunteers here to distribute food to those in need.

Arkansas Community Advocates will have volunteers here to distribute food to those in need. Here's what to expect when you arrive:

  • Limits are set each week depending on how much food has been donated and how many people are waiting in line. The goal is for everyone to get something, but exactly what kind of food depends on what is available that week.
  • Veggies, fruit, and bakery goods are the most common items available.
  • The line forms outside the library before 9:00 and moves inside to the Lecture Hall once we open.
  • AR Community Advocates volunteers will begin setup at 9:00 and start distributing food once they are ready, usually around 9:30.
  • The library provides coffee for those waiting in line.
  • Chairs are available for those who prefer to sit.
  • Food distribution continues until everything has been given away, usually by around 10:30 a.m.

All food is provided through donations. If you would like to donate, you can do so at this link.

Please contact MK at mrockett@nlrlibrary.org if you have any questions.
