The Arkansas Farm Bureau Foundation, county Farm Bureaus, individuals and organizations from across the state continue to support the important work of Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry. This year, the ArFB Foundation donated $25,000 to help provide shelf-stable meat snack sticks to schools participating in backpack feeding programs, giving students a reliable source of protein at home.

An additional $30,000 has been set aside for matching donations, helping expand the program’s reach even further. In 2025, more than $85,000 was donated to AHFH through Arkansas Farm Bureau, county affiliates and the Foundation’s matching program. Those contributions helped provide more than 61,000 meat stick packages to more than 80 schools across 45 counties.
