You Can Establish An Automatic Monthly Gift

The Food Bank primarily sources donated food products.

Which means, not only do our inventories of foods fluctuate from month to month, but we are unsure month to month what may come our way.

The same applies to financial donations.  Knowing that we can rely upon your monthly support is perhaps the best way we can plan for the future and provide for the future.

Consider Establishing a Monthly Donation by Credit or Debit Card

Call Development Director Justin Bates at (479) 785-0582 and he will be happy to set up arrangements.  Or, you can set up a recurring monthly donation directly through PayPal.  Thanks for making the food bank stronger through your sustaining giving!
