Arkansas Against Hunger: Volunteer Opportunities Await

In the heart of the Natural State, thousands of families struggle with food insecurity every day. While the challenge is great, the solution starts with people—neighbors, students, businesses, and caring individuals who are ready to take action. At the forefront of this effort is the Arkansas Foodbank, and they are calling on volunteers to join the fight against hunger.

The Power of Volunteering

Volunteers are the backbone of the Arkansas Foodbank’s mission to provide nutritious food across the state. Whether you are sorting donations, packing boxes, assisting at mobile pantries, or lending support at special events, every hour you give has a direct impact on families in need.

From students fulfilling service hours to companies encouraging employees to give back, there is a role for everyone. No experience is necessary—just a willingness to help.

Ways to Get Involved

Here are some of the ways you can make a difference:

Warehouse Sorting and Packing
Organize donated food and prepare it for delivery to food pantries statewide.

Mobile Pantry Assistance
Distribute food directly to families at pop-up events in local communities.

Administrative Support
Support operations with data entry, phone outreach, and event coordination.

Group Volunteering
Churches, schools, and businesses can work together to make a collective impact.

Why It Matters

One in five Arkansans faces hunger, and for children the number is even higher. By giving just a few hours of your time, you help ensure that no child, parent, or senior has to go to bed hungry.

Volunteer opportunities are available year-round, with flexible options to fit your schedule.
