OUR STORY
We are driven by the belief that food is a celebration of life and culture, not just a commodity to be distributed.
A significant portion of Northwest Arkansas' Hispanic communities struggle with food insecurity, but lack of transportation, work schedules, complicated policies, and few cultural food options prevent many from seeking help.
That’s why we seek to create innovative partnerships that meet people where they’re at, whether that’s a free popup farmers market or teaching kids how to cook safe, nutritious meals at home while their parents are at work.
We hope that our efforts not only fight hunger but also inspire other nonprofits to embrace cultural diversity, creating a more inclusive and thriving world for everyone.
Mission
To fight food insecurity in Northwest Arkansas’ Hispanic communities through our innovative partnerships that remove barriers and make access to food a celebration of community and culture.
Vision
We envision a future where access to food is free from barriers so that every community can thrive, creating a more vibrant and culturally-rich future for Northwest Arkansas.
Short Term Goals
