Youngsters rotate through the workshop’s two creation stations. At one, they hand-stuff their animal to optimal snuggliness; at another, they make their animal a birth certificate, so that 16 years later it can legally drive. In the end, they head home hugging a fuzzy new friend.

Prescott/Nevada County Library Summer Feeding Program
Just as learning does not end when school lets out, neither does a child’s need for good nutrition.
Summer meal sites are frequently held at libraries, camps, churches, or schools. While kids receive a meal at the library, they can also stay active and continue learning with the summer reading program and books. The Arkansas NO KID HUNGRY program gives them the opportunity to eat a nutritious meal and stay on track during the summer so that they don’t fall behind when they return to school.
Site location, operating dates, and times:
Harvest Regional Food Bank, Texarkana, AR (Sponsor)

The Arkansas No Kid Hungry Program works through the combined efforts of the public and private sphere. Federal resources flow through faith and community institutions, leading to more kids fed and mentored every day. By investing in our children, we are becoming a healthier and more productive nation.
