Harvest Regional Food Bank, Texarkana, received a grant from Tyson Foods, Inc, on Thursday for $50,000 to support Harvest’s Mobile Pantry program in Howard, Pike and Hempstead counties in Southwest Arkansas.
Several of the nine Arkansas counties served by Harvest Regional Food Bank lack enough pantries or agencies to distribute enough food to meet the hunger relief needs of the community.
In 2011, Harvest established the Mobile Pantry program to provide food directly to those communities with the fewest hunger relief options. The food bank began quarterly distributions in two counties, and have increased mobile distributions to include six rural and under served
counties.
