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 2010, the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank distributed over five million pounds of food in Benton, Washington, Madison, and Carroll counties. It is through partnerships with over 126 member agencies that we are able to reach out to those in need.

The Food Bank is now a full affiliate of Feeding America, formerly known as America's Second Harvest. This affiliation allows the Food Bank to access additional nation-wide monetary resources and food donations.
