Arkansas leads the nation with the highest rate of food insecurity in the United States! There are an estimated 90,000 individuals just in NWA who don't have access to enough food to maintain a healthy life. 

Food2Families Food Pantry distributions serve an average of over 200 families a week across Northwest Arkansas. In 2024, we provided assistance almost 11,000 times to our neighbors in need. We distributed 500,000 lbs of food, thanks to our donors and volunteers! 

It is our goal to provide food to the at-risk in our area with groceries to make healthy meals. We strive to have meat, fresh produce, dairy, dry goods, and snacks available every week.

If you or someone you know is in need of food assistance, we offer distributions 4 days a week on most weeks of the month, with a variety of Client Choice distribution options. Make sure to read the complete details on each distribution before coming, as some of our pantries require pre-ordering your food, while others allow you to just show up at the distribution time and select from our available options that day.

Make sure to follow our Facebook page, as it is the only place we post if we have to cancel a pantry due to weather.
