Local Bank to Donate 1 Million Meals

By Chris Zahn

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.– For the ninth year in a row, Arvest Bank locations in NWA and the Fort Smith/River Valley region have pledged to provide one million meals to locals in need again this year as part of their two month long 1 Million Meals initiative to fight food insecurity.

The bank plans to put their employees to the test by encouraging them to participate in a drive to collect non-perishable food items and donations at all of their locations in NWA.

Employees are not the only ones welcome to participate. Community members can participate in Million Meals by dropping off nonperishable food items or making monetary donations at any of the Arvest branches.
