Arkansas Rice Depot has served Arkansas for 31 years with innovative programs that are designed to help children and families who are suffering from hunger. Our mission is simple: We provide sensible solutions for hunger in Arkansas.
  
We Innovate: Because it’s hard to be hungry for knowledge when you’re just plain hungry, Arkansas Rice Depot started Food For Kids, which has been replicated in 40 states across the nation and most recently in Mexico.  In Arkansas, we serve more than 35,000 children by providing backpacks filled with kid friendly foods, personal care items and much more that is sent home with students facing hunger.  

We Empower: We believe the key to ending hunger in Arkansas is found in the Arkansas tradition of neighbors helping their needy neighbors.  Through Food For Families we provide nearly 9 million pounds of food each year to 300 church and community hunger agencies across Arkansas. 

We Serve: No senior citizen should receive a life sentence of hunger. Our Food For Seniors program enables volunteers to deliver 50 pounds of food and household items monthly to homebound seniors in Central Arkansas who face hunger.  

We Respond: From a house fire that affects one family to a tornado that affects hundreds, to ice storms, and even large factory closings; Arkansas Rice Depot’s program immediately activates, providing emergency relief through our food pantry partners, public schools, direct disaster service events, and even door to door if necessary.
