Communities across central and south Arkansas are encouraged to participate by donating cereal and other non-perishable breakfast items to the Arkansas Foodbank. The drive will visit over ten locations, starting in Cabot, Arkansas, and concluding in Little Rock.

How to Get Involved

Participants can register as teams or individuals, with divisions ranging from small organizations to schools and youth groups. Schools are now able to participate more actively, thanks to a timeline adjustment allowing involvement while classes are in session.

Donations of non-perishable, nutritious breakfast items are welcome until June 26, 2026. The event will culminate with the Breakfast of Champions on July 31, 2026, at the Arkansas Foodbank in Little Rock.
