In 2000, the Arkansas Foodbank, in conjunction with Feeding America, partnered with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America to establish Kids Cafes.
Kids Cafe is the nation's largest after-school meal service and nutritional education program exclusively for children in need. Currently, the Foodbank serves more than 1,700 children per month at 21 Boys and Girls Clubs in central and southern Arkansas each month. That amounts to more than 27,000 meals! The program reaches some of the state’s most underprivileged kids and provides powerful tools for success in life.
Backpacks for Kids provides underserved children with food for the weekends and school holidays. At the end of each week children involved in the program pick up a backpack of food to take home. The backpacks are inconspicuous and previously prepared by volunteers. They are filled with nutritious, child-friendly items that are easy for young ones to prepare.
The Arkansas Foodbank, in partnership with CareLink (Central Arkansas Area Agency on Aging), sponsors the Senior Supplement program to help seniors in central Arkansas who struggle to stretch their fixed incomes.
