Arkadelphia joins Rotary District 6170 to host "Rotary Has Heart" food collection to Benefit Ecumenical Food Pantry in February

During the month of February, clubs throughout District 6170 are supporting food-based projects in their own communities to show that "Rotary Has Heart" and is actively working to make a difference on a local as well as international level. 

Rotarians and community members are encouraged to provide canned meats and vegetables to fill the collection boxes as these staples do not remain on the pantry shelves, according to pantry representative Cindy Jackson. 

The Arkadelphia Rotary Club and the Arkadelphia-Sunrise Rotary Club are partnering with the Ecumenical Food Pantry, an interdenominational food pantry that operates in the city. Organizations and individuals are encouraged to participate by hosting collection boxes in their own businesses.

At the end of the month, representatives from the pantry will speak at a club meeting to build awareness for their efforts. All food will be sent to the pantry at this time. If you would like to participate, please contact the club at arkadelphia.rotary@gmail.com.

Collection Locations:
Club Meetings at Western Sizzlin
Arkadelphia Brookshire's Grocery
Henderson State University (Sturgis, East, Garrison Bookstore, Evans, Huie Library, and Reynolds)
