Little Rock CARES

Supporting Our Neighbors in Times of Need

The City of Little Rock invites residents to make a tax-deductible donation to the Little Rock CARES Emergency Fund to assist vulnerable residents impacted by the ongoing federal government furlough and the freeze on SNAP benefits.

Your contribution will help provide groceries and essential supplies to Little Rock families facing food insecurity and financial hardship during this critical time. All donations are used to directly support residents in need.

How Your Donation Helps

Funds collected through Little Rock CARES will be used to purchase grocery gift cards distributed to residents who show proof of SNAP eligibility and need assistance due to the federal government shutdown.
