Humanitarian Service

Childhood hunger is a current problem in our area.  The Samaritan Community Center serves over 5,000 kids in Northwest Arkansas who are at risk for malnutrition with their snack pack food program that serves at-risk children.  During the entire month of October, the Humanitarian Committee will have a snack pack food drive to contribute to this effort.  Donation boxes will be at church next week and throughout the month.  Every little bit helps.  In addition, we will be placing boxes at local businesses to help the cause as well.  Here is a current list of items to be donated (everything must be non-perishable):

  • Fruit Bars
  • Fruit Cups
  • Fruit Snacks
  • Small Cereal Boxes
  • Cheese Crackers
  • Pudding Cups
  • Oatmeal packets
  • Microwave Pasta
  • Ramen Noodles
  • Animal Crackers
  • Beef Jerky
  • Individual Pretzel Packets
  • Other Individually Packaged Snacks
"When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God."

Thanks for your service,
The Relief Society Humanitarian Committee
