Arkansas Community Foundation launches $10 million fund to combat food insecurity - Talk Business & Politics The Arkansas Community Foundation , in cooperation with the Walmart Foundation , announced Friday (Sept. 25) a five-year initiative led by a $10 million grant from the retail giant’s philanthropic arm. Other funders include Tyson Foods and Cargill, but those contributions were not disclosed.
The Arkansas Full Table Fund will be a statewide effort designed to invest in sustainable solutions to forever combat food insecurity across the Natural State, according to the foundation. Earlier this year, food insecurity levels increased around the state to 20%, and with higher food prices, rising fuel costs, demand is expected to grow. A recent report from the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance said an estimated 1.
14 million Arkansans, or about 37% of state residents, don’t have enough food to meet their needs. Jessica Hughes Ford, CEO of the Arkansas Community Foundation, said the announcement was the culmination of months of meetings and brainstorming sessions from community leaders, Walmart, Tyson Foods, Cargill and non-profits united in a common purpose of creating a sustainable solution statewide to food insecurity.
“When we talk about the future of our state, it starts at the table,” said Ford. “Arkansas is a state of unmatched natural abundance and neighborly pride, yet far too many of our families face empty plates. The Arkansas Full Table Fund is built on a clear, simple principle: we are supporting smart, scalable solutions so every Arkansan gets the food they need.
” Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders attended the event held in Springdale, saying that Arkansas ranks the highest in the nation for food insecurity. “One in five Arkansas households experience food insecurity, and one in three Arkansas kids lack consistent food access,” she said. “To me, that is simply unacceptable.
” Earlier this year, food insecurity levels increased around the state to 20%, and with higher food prices and now rising fuel costs, demand is expected to grow. “The good news is that while Arkansas faces some steep challenges, we have no shortage of generous men and women who are looking to help,” Sanders said.
“Just yesterday, I had the privilege of joining Arkansas Rice Farmers to help them package more than 200,000 pounds of rice that they donated to help Arkansas families. ” Beginning Oct. 1, Arkansas nonprofit organizations can apply for grant funding to improve access to federal nutrition programs, build food system capacity and drive community-led solutions to food insecurity.
The application period will close Dec. 7. Announcements of grant winners will be made in early 2027.
Ford said there are different levels of funding ranging from up to $100,000 for nonprofits that innovate new processes and up to $200,000 for advocates and programs that strengthen processes already in place. Julie Gehrki, president of the Walmart Foundation, said the $10 million gift over five years is intended to jumpstart the community-led initiative.
She said the hope is that others will also step in and join the effort because feeding someone today is not enough. “We deeply care about the strength and well-being of communities across the state,” Gehrki said. “This investment is about helping families get the food they need today, while building stronger, more reliable food systems for the years ahead, and it’s an invitation to others to join us.
” U.S. Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark. , said the effort is aimed at moving the needle and he looks forward to seeing the numbers come down.
“I really applaud the Arkansas Field Table Fund for leveraging the strengths that they’ve got,” he said. “The answer comes from the ground up. … I’m encouraged to see partnerships that leverage this incredible agricultural resource to bring people and organizations together to tackle hunger and ensure nutritious food reaches those who need it most.
