    About Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas

    The Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas channels nearly all of its grantmaking into Arkansas-based food distribution, with recent awards centered on partner pantries, churches, and mobile pantry sites that move USDA food and other supplies to households facing hunger. In the latest grants, the largest award went to Fb Food Bank of North Central in Norfork for food distribution, followed by repeated support for Provision 88 in Jonesboro and Brookland Church of Christ in Brookland. That pattern points to a funder that operates through a dense local network rather than a small set of isolated grants. Its programs connect with more than 140 charitable agencies and programs across Northeast Arkansas, including food pantry partners, school-based backpack support, senior food pantries, fresh produce distributions, and USDA TEFAP food distribution sites. The foundation also describes coordination with local partners and agencies as part of its mobile pantry work. Across the recent grants list, the same kinds of recipients reappear in different years, showing continued support for distribution infrastructure and emergency food access. Under Christie Jordan’s leadership, the organization combines direct service with program and operational support for hunger relief.

    What Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas Funds

    Food distribution is the clearest throughline in the grants list. The Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas awarded $345,068 to Brookland Church of Christ for the Food Distribution Program, and $238,443 to Cherry Valley Food Pantry for the same purpose. Several grants support USDA food distribution through local partners. Examples include $255,095 to Hope House Ministries Inc in West Memphis, $242,840 to Mission Outreach of NEA in Paragould, and $237,011 to Every Child Is Ours in Tuckerman, each tied to food distribution work. The network also reaches child and senior nutrition. The Backpack Program provides child-friendly weekend food packages through participating schools and agencies, while the Senior Food Pantry supplies supplemental food through senior citizen centers and partner sites. Fresh Produce Program grants support produce access through partner pantries and mobile distributions across Northeast Arkansas.

    How Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas Gives

    Typical grants sit in a mid-range distribution: p25 is $14,406, median is $29,401, and p75 is $62,502. The recent grants table also shows a much larger operational network of distribution awards, with several recipients appearing in multiple years, including the Food Bank of North Central, Provision 88, Brookland Church of Christ, Newport Pentecostal Church of God, and St Francis County Mobile Pantry. That repeat pattern suggests ongoing support rather than one-off transactions. The organization funds locally, does not fund individuals, and makes program-related investments.
