ARKANSAS HUNGER RELIEF ALLIANCE INC

Description

The Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, established in 2004, is a non-profit umbrella organization representing a network of Feeding America food banks and hunger relief organizations around the state. We work with local and national non-profit organizations as well as state and federal agencies in implementing programs designed to increase access to food and teach low income Arkansans the skills they need to make healthy food choices. We are also active in helping shape policy decisions impacting hunger in our state and in raising awareness of the educational, economic and social consequences of hunger.

The impact of our work has gained local and national recognition. The Alliance was named one of the three top non-profits by AY Magazine, a finalist for 2015 Arkansas Business Non-profit of the Year and Runner-up for Best Local Charity and Best Local Charity Event in the Arkansas Times Best of Arkansas 2014 reader survey. The Alliance was cited in the National Commission on Hunger’s final report to the US Congress for our innovative approaches to reducing hunger.
