The Need

Even with the economic boom that Northwest Arkansas has experienced in the last decade, many families and individuals are still in great need of economic and educational resources to break the cycle of poverty.

  • Arkansas is currently ranked #1 in the Nation for both Elderly and Childhood Food Insecurity, according to the most recent U.S. Census.

  • Arkansas is currently ranked #3 in the Nation for overall Population Food Insecurity.

  • 38.1% of all households in South Fayetteville live under the poverty level.

  • 1 in 4 South Fayetteville residents have been homeless at some point in their lives.

  • 82% of all students at the local elementary school in South Fayetteville are on the free lunch program.

  • Washington County is second only to Pulaski County with the number of people living below poverty level.

  • South Fayetteville has the highest number of low income households in Northwest Arkansas.

Statistics show that this level of poverty leads to homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, rising crime rates, and serious health conditions.
