Meals & Food Security

Be Mighty Little Rock connects kids and teens under 18 with free meals at several local libraries. They also support community food security with Little Free Pantries, cooking classes, and health and wellness classes. Be Mighty works with SNAP Navigators to offer assistance at several library locations. They also support the CALS Little Free Pantries.

Little Free Pantries are an easy way for neighbors to help neighbors who need food or other items like hygiene products. They are a 24/7, zero barrier access point to food. Little Free Pantries not only support neighbors who are facing food insecurity. They empower people to make immediate changes toward their neighborhood. Give what you can by placing food, hygiene, or paper items inside the pantry. Your neighbors who need those items can freely take them from the pantry, no questions asked. If you see items inside and you them, take them and know your community cares for you. To further advance our mission, we hope you will give in the form of shelf-stable food donations to be distributed to the families that participate in our meal programs as well as to other food insecure patrons who visit our libraries for other programs & services. Donations can be made directly to LFPs, through our Amazon Wishlist, or through a drive hosted by your school or community group!
