The Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas would like to share some important updates regrading the Acre of Hope fundraiser. For the past 8 years, this event has been a cornerstone of the food bank's efforts to rally the agricultural industry in the mission to feed people in need as Arkansas continues to lead the nation with the highest rates of food insecurity. After much consideration, the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas has decided to forego the Acre of Hope fundraiser in January 2025. With low commodity prices and the uncertainty surrounding the passage of the farm bill, the food bank believes it is the right choice out of respect for our partners in the agricultural community. 

The Acre of Hope page will remain live with giving information for partners who still wish to give. The Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas thanks you for your understanding and ongoing support.

The Food Bank deeply values our relationship with the ag industry and are thinking of you during this challenging time.
