Statement on Board Member Civic Engagement and Nonpartisanship

The Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance regularly collaborates with leaders from all walks of life—including business, education, and public service—who share our mission to end hunger in Arkansas.

At the Alliance, we believe that lasting change begins with people who care deeply about their communities. Our Board of Directors reflects that belief—each member brings a spirit of service, compassion, and leadership to the fight against hunger in Arkansas.

From time to time, some of our board members may choose to run for or serve in public office. We view this civic engagement as an extension of their commitment to strengthening communities across our state.

While we value and respect this dedication to public service, the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance remains a strictly nonpartisan organization. Our mission is singular: ensuring that every Arkansan has access to enough nutritious food.

We do not support or oppose any political candidates or parties, and the Alliance does not endorse candidates for public office. Any political activities undertaken by board members are done in their personal capacity and do not represent the Alliance’s views or positions.

Our advocacy and programs are always grounded in collaboration, data-driven solutions, and shared purpose—because hunger can only be ended when we work together, across all lines of difference, for the common good.

Two outlined green and white hands are shaking, illustrating an agreement.
