Little Rock Cares COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund

The City of Little Rock invites residents to make a donation to the Little Rock Cares COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund. This fund provides financial support to two efforts—food relief coordinated by World Central Kitchen and purchase of personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care professionals and first responders.

How can you help?

Donate. Your tax-exempt contribution will help Little Rock students who need daily meals because of the temporary closure of schools, due to COVID-19 and the purchase of PPE, of which many hospitals do not have enough.

How will the funds be distributed?

The Finance Department will oversee the Little Rock Cares fund.
