The El Chico restaurant in Mountain Home will host a give back night to help reduce food insecurity in the community. On Tuesday evening from 5:00 until 9:00, El Chico will donate 10 percent of the total purchased meal sales to Arvest Bank’s Feed The Pack initiative.
In order for 10 percent of the meal ticket to be contributed to the Feed the Pack initiative, customers must present a voucher from Arvest Bank. Vouchers may be picked up at any Arvest Bank location in Mountain Home. El Chico is located at 45 Charles Blackburn Drive in Mountain Home.
Feed the Pack is a one-day donation drive in the communities of Mountain Home, Gassville, Flippin and Yellville raising money for the Food Back of North Central Arkansas backpack program, as well as other local backpack programs from other hunger relief organizations in the area. Backpack programs provide supplemental snacks for children on weekends and holidays, times when they dont have access to school meal programs and face food insecurity at home.
Arvest Bank created Feed the Pack Day in 2016 and has collected $35,000 during the past two fundraising drives, equating to 175,000 meals for local children who are supported by backpack programs.
