In response to the COVID-19 school closures, the City of Little Rock and local organizations have implemented a plan to provide meals for students, many of whom regularly receive their only weekday meals at school.

Through Friday, April 10, more than 162,000 meals have been distributed to students, families, and others in need.

Organizations partnering in this effort are the City of Little Rock, Clinton Foundation, World Central Kitchen, Little Rock School District, Pulaski County Special School District, Central Arkansas Library System, and Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance.

Members of the community can get involved and support the effort by signing up to volunteer at littlerock.gov/volunteer or by making a contribution at wck.org/littlerock.

Those in need of transportation may use Rock Region Metro to reach many of the distribution locations. Find more information online at rrmetro.org.

There will be no lunch distribution on Easter Sunday, April 12, however two meals will be distributed to each person on Saturday, April 11. Below are the locations where meals may be picked up for the week of April 13-19, 2020. An online map can be found at littlerock.gov/covid19.

Meals are grab-and-go to limit contact and congregating. Everyone is requested to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before picking up meals and to maintain a safe social distance of at least six feet between other people.
