Providing Affordable And Healthy Food To Food Pantries And Feeding Programs That Serve Those At Risk Of Hunger In Central Arkansas.
The Need
In Garland County, Arkansas, the need for feeding the hungry persists as a pressing concern. Despite the county's natural beauty and economic activity, a significant portion of its population faces food insecurity. Economic disparities, limited access to nutritious food options, and unforeseen circumstances such as job loss or medical emergencies contribute to this issue.
Addressing hunger in Garland County requires a collective effort from local authorities, charitable organizations, and community members to ensure that no individual or family goes without access to essential nourishment. Project HOPE Food Bank prioritizes initiatives that provide food assistance, so we can work towards alleviating hunger and fostering a healthier, more resilient population.

Our Story
Founded in 2007, Project HOPE Health Coalition made a significant impact by recommending the establishment of a food bank in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Ted Thompson played a crucial role in bringing this recommendation to fruition. After evaluating the extent of food insecurity in the community, the advisory board recommended the establishment of a food bank.
Consisting of health professionals, food pantry agencies, and members of the Garland County Health Department, Project HOPE Food Bank was formed to address food insecurity in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Over fifteen years, Project HOPE Food Bank has expanded its operations significantly, working with over 70 agencies and distributing over 100,000 pounds of food each month.
