The Jonesboro-University Rotary Club has stepped up in a big way for neighbors in need, presenting a $5,000 check to the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas. The generous contribution underscores the club’s ongoing commitment to fighting hunger across the region and highlights the power of local civic organizations to make a real difference in the community.

The Food Bank of NEA serves as a critical lifeline for families throughout northeast Arkansas, distributing food to individuals and households who might otherwise go without. Donations like this one from the Rotary Club help the food bank keep its shelves stocked and its programs running strong — especially as summer winds down and families prepare for the back-to-school season.

The Jonesboro-University Rotary Club is one of several Rotary chapters active in the Jonesboro area, and its members regularly look for ways to invest in the well-being of their neighbors. Presenting a check of this size to the Food Bank of NEA reflects the kind of hands-on, community-first spirit that Rotary International is known for worldwide — brought right home to northeast Arkansas.

For residents who want to support the Food Bank of NEA alongside efforts like this one, the organization welcomes both monetary donations and volunteer support year-round. Every contribution, large or small, helps ensure that no family in the region has to face an empty table.

It’s a reminder that when local clubs and nonprofits work together, the impact reaches far beyond a single check — it ripples out through hundreds of meals, grateful families, and a stronger, more connected Jonesboro community.
