“It is our honor to answer Dr. King’s call to serve and make a difference in the lives of Arkansas residents,” said Starr Crow, Civic Engagement Manager for Engage Arkansas. “Service has the power to bring communities together, help others stand together against hate, build bridges, and heal divides. Service unites people regardless of race, religion, or zip code. We invite our community members to act on Dr. King’s legacy of social justice and equity; and recommit by volunteering with us on MLK Day and throughout the year.”
The Little Free Pantry Project will take 100 old newspaper boxes and repurpose them to help those in need.
Each pantry will be “adopted” by a community leader so that it remains stocked with food while also conducting drives to collect supplies.
