With the population of Northwest Arkansas continuing to grow at a rapid
rate, the need for food distribution services to those
facing or experiencing hunger is
increasing. In 2007, the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank
distributed over two million pounds of food in Benton, Washington, Madison,
and Carroll counties. It is through partnerships with
over 150 member agencies that we are able to reach out
to those in need.
In 2007, the Food Bank became a full
affiliate of America’s Second Harvest,
the Nation's Food Bank Network, allowing the Food Bank access to additional
nation-wide monetary resources and food donations.
In the first quarter of
2008, distribution has increased 37% at the
Northwest Arkansas Food Bank. |

We've
Changed Our Name!
In January 2008, the Ozark Food Bank changed its
name to the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank to give the
public a clearer picture of the area that it serves.
With the continued growth of Northwest Arkansas, the
Northwest Arkansas Food Bank, through partnerships with corporate
donors and local member agencies, is
meeting the challenge of feeding the hungry in our communities.
