Counselors at Arkadelphia schools send food home with more than 170 hungry students each Friday. In an effort to help provide items for the students, a fun competition among Henderson State University students and faculty/staff evolved into a highly successful food drive.
Henderson partnered with Patterson Federal Credit Union to join local companies and businesses that have also made an impact in the community through The Backpack Program.
More than 3,500 food items were collected at Henderson and delivered to the schools.
