Our pantry operates like a grocery store for military veterans who are able to feed their families for free. Because Feed The Vets is serving more clients than ever before (over 100 deserving veterans per month now), rising inflation, price increases at the Arkansas Food Bank, etc. operating costs are up 75% since the beginning of 2023. Feed The Vets anticipates serving over 150 this Thanksgiving.
Veterans in Arkansas face unique challenges after their service, including an alarming rate of food insecurity. Recent statistics shed light on the hardships many veterans endure, highlighting the need for targeted support and resources. Here’s a closer look at the data behind food insecurity among veterans in Arkansas and the factors driving this critical issue.
Magician David Copperfield has donated $7,500 through his Project Magic program to the Feed the Vets Food Pantry in Cabot, Arkansas. The donation will be presented at a ceremony hosted by First Community Bank, with attendees including magicians, food pantry volunteers, and veterans. The initiative is part of Copperfield’s long-standing commitment to supporting communities and veterans through his Project Magic program, which teaches magic as therapy.
A monetary donation helps support the pantry’s mission of providing supplemental food sources to deserving Veterans and their families right here in Arkansas.
