In the most recent study published by the USDA, Arkansas is ranked highest in the nation for food insecurity. 18.9% of the state, over 575,000 Arkansans, experience barriers to adequate food and nutrition critical to thrive.

Be Mighty's goal is to work within our community to alleviate food insecurity by reducing barriers to access, and it takes a village to make that happen! With your support, we can continue to reach low-income and low-access families who experience food insecurity. Your donation will fund our various programs including free meals for children 2-18, our Little Free Pantry and Community Fridge program, and nutrition education.

Be Mighty began in 2018 with the goal of providing healthy food and lifestyle choices for kids within Little Rock and the Central Arkansas Library System. Our office is housed in the Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library and Learning Center, but much of our work is facilitated offsite as well. Since its inception, we have pivoted our program to include a broader intergenerational lens for our work. With the support of the Central Arkansas Library System, the City of Little Rock, the National Recreation and Parks Association, the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, and other partners, we have been able to add programs and help more members of our community. Currently, our team is comprised of a Be Mighty Coordinator, Be Mighty Specialist, and a Be Mighty Outreach Facilitator.
