What a great time we had at the City of Little Rock, AR - Government’s State of the City address last week! 🏙️

We loved being part of the community resource fair and meeting so many of our neighbors.

Our team had a blast providing health education and on-the-spot screenings for blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Helping our community learn ways to get and stay healthy is what we do best! 🩺🩹

Access to healthy food is the foundation of a vibrant life! While 1 in 5 Arkansans and 1 in 4 children face hunger, we are committed to closing that gap and reducing chronic disease through better nutrition.🍎🍏

We were honored to host our 2nd No Cost Food Market at the historic Bethel A.M.E. Church Little Rock, recently. Together with our partners, Potluck Food Rescue, UAMS Culinary Medicine, Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, and AR WIC Breastfeeding, we made true impact:
• More than 2,000 pounds of crisp, fresh fruits and vegetables. 🍍🥦
• Shelf-stable pantry items 🥫
• Wholistic support, including important health screenings, SNAP enrollment, and WIC assistance. 🩺🩹

A HUGE thank you to our incredible volunteers and Commissioners who came to help make this a successful day for the community. 👏🏾

During a routine cervical cancer screening, Jasmine’s Pap test showed abnormal cells. If left untreated, abnormal cells can turn into cervical cancer, so Jasmine got a preventive procedure. Stay up to date on screenings so you can stop cervical cancer in its tracks. https://bit.ly/4bug59D
