FOOD DRIVE

This weekend, February 18-19, 2012, at all New Life Church of Arkansas campuses, we will be collecting food for the Arkansas Dream Center. All you have to do is bring your donation to the church and drop it off. 

Many Arkansas communities are facing poverty and hunger rates of 70%-90% in families and children. In 2011, the Dream Center was able to provide over 30,000 plates of food to hungry Arkansans. In these communities, provision of food communicates great love. Already this year our requests for food have nearly doubled. 

This is your chance to prevent a child from going to bed hungry; to prevent a mother from having to decide whether to pay rent or to feed her family. Here is a list of items we can give to the hungry in our communities every day. These items can be used immediately and provide some nutrition in addition to satisfying hunger.
