Harvest Regional Food Bank reminds us every year that hunger doesn't take a summer vacation, and once again they are sponsoring area Summer Feeding Programs.

Texarkana, Arkansas, and Texas, along with the surrounding communities that Harvest serves, can utilize these free lunch programs for children now up to the start of the new school year.

The Summer Feeding Program is open to all kids ages 1‐18 years. No applications are necessary; simply drop in, and all children and teens are welcome. Harvest Regional Food Bank is an equal opportunity provider.

The Summer Feeding Program ensures children have access to healthy meals during the summer, when school meals aren't available. In Arkansas, about one in five children face food insecurity, meaning they lack consistent access to safe, nutritious food. Hunger can negatively impact a child’s physical, mental, and emotional development, as well as their overall health.
