A cereal drive will be held Saturday, June 8, 2024, from 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at Brookshire’s in Arkadelphia.

Clark County Retired Teachers are sponsoring this event to collect cereal and other breakfast items for children. Everything collected will be distributed to three food pantries in Clark County — the Community Family Enrichment Center, the Ecumenical Food Pantry, and the Gurdon Food Pantry.

Arkansas now ranks as the highest state in the U.S. in food insecurity.

“This is a reason to encourage others, go buy cereal, and bring it to Brookshire’s this Saturday,” CCRT member Nellene Roberts said.
