Fill the Food bank

Did you know that each week, right here in Region 8, over 5,000 people seek emergency food assistance from a food pantry, a soup kitchen, a shelter, or other program associated with the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas. You would think that since we live in the land of plenty that no one should ever risk going hungry.  Well, think again. Arkansas continually ranks in the top 4 for the highest rate of hunger in the United States The Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas is doing everything possible to put food in the hands of the hungry and this year we are asking for your help once again. This Thursday KAIT and the Jonesboro Radio Group are partnering with the Food Bank to help raise food donations. The Food Bank  has 94 partner agencies and programs located in 12 counties across Region 8. They work to collect food donations on behalf of all to take to their communities to serve families in need. We’ll be set up at Kroger on Caraway Road in Jonesboro all day long Thursday and we would love to see you there. There is no reason for anyone to go to bed hungry in this great country of ours. Come out Thursday and help make this A Better Region 8.
