Join us for Watermelon Crawl 2026!

We’re heading to Heifer Ranch in Perryville in July for our annual Watermelon Crawl! Last year, more than 90 volunteers helped harvest over 60,000 pounds of melons, which were distributed across 33 counties through the Arkansas Foodbank. Join us for a fun day in the field with snacks, games, and plenty of summer cheer—all while helping get fresh, local produce to communities across Arkansas.

 

Join us for the 2026 Hunger Action Breakfast, our signature morning gathering where community and compassion come together to ensure every Arkansan has reliable access to nutritious food. Over breakfast, you’ll hear how the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance sustains vital programs, from grants to food pantries to nutrition education, that empower families now and build a stronger tomorrow.

We’ll celebrate changemakers with our Acting Out Against Hunger Awards, honoring individuals, businesses, organizations, and elected officials whose innovation and leadership are making an impact statewide.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 7:30 AM at Chenal Country Club, and join Chairs Cori Keller and Eddie Davis as we recognize these inspiring stories and recommit to nourishing hope across Arkansas.

 

The Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance’s College Hunger Summit is an annual statewide gathering that unites students, faculty, administrators, policymakers, and advocates to address the urgent issue of food insecurity on Arkansas college campuses.

The Summit empowers participants to tackle food access barriers and strengthen campus pantries, SNAP outreach, and long-term policy change. By sharing best practices and collaborative strategies, we aim to ensure no student has to choose between their education and their basic needs.
