A r FB FOUNDATION PARTNERS TO HELP FEED HUNGRY

The Arkansas Farm Bureau (ArFB) Foundation is partnering with the ArFB State YF&R and Women’s Leadership Committees to launch the new Hunters Feeding the Hungry Program. ArFB along with county Farm Bureaus have been working to fight food insecurities in the state for many years, through local and statewide monetary and food donations.

Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry (AHFH) is in their 22nd year of helping feed hungry Arkansans. They provide wild game meat to food pantries across the state. The ArFB Foundation will join AHFH in its newest endeavor, the Wild Game Snack Sticks Program. The program provides shelf stable meat snack sticks to schools for their backpack programs, to provide a protein option for students.

The ArFB Foundation Board of Directors recently approved a $25,000 donation to the Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry organization. In addition to the donation, $25,000 has been set aside to match donations made by county Farm Bureaus, individuals and other entities.

To participate, county Farm Bureaus can make a taxdeductible donation to the ArFB Foundation. Donations earmarked for the Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry Program, will be donated to the AHFH organization on your behalf. Donations can be made by mail to Arkansas Farm Bureau Foundation, P.O. Box 31, Little Rock, AR 72203 or by visiting our online giving page.
