Arkansas Rice Depot, Inc. Charity Profile

Nearly one out of every six Arkansans lives in poverty. According to the latest census data (2005), some 164,510 children and 99,096 senior citizens were among the more than 400,000 impoverished residents. No area of the state is without need as poverty and hunger is a problem throughout all 75 counties. To meet that statewide need, the Arkansas Rice Depot has spent more than 25 years developing a presence across Arkansas. In 2006, we distributed more than five and a half million pounds of food to hungry residents in nearly every county. We were able to feed those in need through a network of more than 800 local hunger-relief organizations. In addition to the local food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens & schools that participate in our network, the Arkansas Rice Depot provides 10 regional food drops so food pantries outside of central Arkansas don't have to make the long drive into Little Rock to access our food donation network.
