SDCW-ATC Food Pantry
In June 2019, we opened a Community Garden in our area after the grocery store closed down. We started delivering the produce to the Elderly residents at an apartment complex. With donations and help from volunteers, we have now been able to purchase 2 plots of land to expand, and we have a produce stand available that stays open when we have produce.
In June of 2022, we got accepted by the Northeast Arkansas Food Bank and we opened a food pantry in Lake City. It is Open every Thursday 10 am-1:30 pm and 4 pm-6 pm
​
In the Fall of 2022, we applied for a USDA grant to expand our community garden and food pantry. We got accepted and were awarded the grant for 3 years. We have now bought a tractor, a larger garden plot as well, and a larger building for our pantry to operate. We now help hundreds of families each month and on average we can give away close to 20,000 lbs of food per month. We hope to be able to keep expanding and getting more and more food to give away and to help the people in our community
