It’s that time of year again: School Breakfast Month! Every year in March, the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance recognizes the importance of school breakfast in helping our kids be healthy, active, and ready to learn.

We are prepping for an in-person Lobby Day. On Wednesday, February 22, join the Alliance and other advocates at the Capitol as we roll out a number of proactive bills and enjoy a hearty lunch of pinto beans, rice, and cornbread with our state legislators.

Last week the national No Kid Hungry campaign honored twelve summer and afterschool meals providers across the country as Out-of-School Time Meals Champions. Annette Dove, founder and director of Targeting Our People’s Priorities with Service (TOPPS) in Pine Bluff, was honored as one of those twelve making a difference in their communities.

We’re debuting a new Q & A monthly blog feature highlighting the interesting folks who are a part of the Alliance team. This month we’re talking to Michelle Shope.
