The Food Bank of North Central Arkansas recently announced the Arkansas Beef Project, a new program of the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, made a large scale donation of 822 pounds of ground beef to Jeff Quick, CEO of the Food Bank. Kathy Webb, Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance executive director, and Michelle Shope, Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance food sourcing and logistics director made the presentation. It will be distributed by the Food Bank of North Central Arkansas to their member pantries in Fulton County.
Webb says the Alliance wants to thank the anonymous donor from Fulton County. She also gave thanks to members of the Arkansas Cattlemen's Association and Farmers Feeding the World for a cash donations that allowed for processing of the beef.
In the announcement, Quick says food pantries often cannot afford to purchase beef or don't have a reliable source to provide to those in need and is an ongoing challenge.
