🦌 Hunters – Help Feed the Hungry This Season

If you're heading into the woods this season, please consider giving back in a big way. Hope In Action is asking local hunters to donate a portion of their processed deer meat to help feed families and individuals who are struggling.

Your donation goes straight to our food pantry and homeless shelter, making a real difference in real lives.

📍 Drop-off Location:
606 West Third Street, Hope, Arkansas
(Please make sure the meat is processed before dropping off.)

Let’s turn this hunting season into a season of giving. One deer can feed a lot of people. You can be the reason someone doesn’t go to bed hungry.

Questions? Give us a call at 870-777-8227.

Thank you for helping us bring hope and a hot meal to those who need it most. 💚

As the Director of Hope in Action Food Pantry, I want to personally thank Southern Caregivers for their incredibly generous donation of food to our pantry.

It means so much to know that we have organizations in our community that believe in what we do and are willing to step up and help us serve families in need. Every item donated helps us continue putting food into the hands of people who need a little extra help, and we could not do what we do without the support of our community.

From all of us at Hope in Action, thank you, Southern Caregivers, for your kindness, generosity, and willingness to help. We appreciate you more than you know! ❤️🙏

It truly takes a community working together to make a difference, and we are so thankful to have you as part of ours.
