While corporations make record profits, thousands in Arkansas are facing food insecurity — and our government is cutting SNAP benefits instead of helping. Hunger is not an accident — it’s a policy choice.
This is a partnership between The People’s Protests and Marches and ARKANSAS COMMUNITY ADVOCATES to collect donations on-site that will directly support the community they serve. Arkansas Community Advocates is a judgement-free, grassroots nonprofit based in North Little Rock but operating all over the state. They are dedicated to meeting basic needs like food, resources, and support for unsheltered and low-income Arkansans.
By collecting items and contributions at the protest, you’ll help fuel ACA’s ongoing outreach efforts — from food distributions to mutual aid operations — and strengthen the very fabric of our community in solidarity
We are asking for the following items:
- Nonperishable food items
- Toothpaste and toothbrushes
- Soap and shampoo
- Deodorant
- Sanitary products
- Hairbrushes or combs
- Blankets and winter clothing
The People’s Protests and Marches is committed to mutual aid, especially supporting Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrant, LGBTQ+, disabled, veterans, unhoused, and working-class communities who are hit hardest by food injustice.
These are awesome organizations and we hope to see you there!
