5. The Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission Hosts Its Operation Appreciation Free Food Giveaway
The Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission is launching Operation Appreciation Food Giveaway, a series of coordinated statewide initiatives to fight food insecurity and support families in need this summer.
The kickoff event will take place at 11 a.m. May 27, 2025, at the commission’s offices, 906 Broadway in Little Rock. The event is part of a larger effort to provide relief and resources during a critical time of year. With schools closing for summer break, families often face additional challenges to provide nutritious meals.
“Summer should be a time of joy and growth for our children, not a time of hunger,” DuShun Scarbrough, the commission’s executive director, said. “Through Operation Appreciation, we’re not only providing food — we’re showing families that their community sees them, values them, and is committed to supporting them.”
This food giveaway is one of several being organized in communities statewide, with partners including local nonprofits, faith-based organizations, schools, and volunteers working together to identify needs and ensure distribution.
Community members are encouraged to arrive early, as supplies will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with loading food items.
For more information, contact Director Scarbrough at 888-290-KING or [email protected].
