A $45,000 grant from Tyson supported the addition of a refrigeration unit to this vehicle so the NWA Food Bank can now deliver fresh food through its mobile pantry program.

The Northwest Arkansas Food Bank is expanding its mobile pantry program to two new cities this week. The mobile pantry traveled to the Carroll County Senior Center in Berryville this morning and Friday it will make a stop at the Springdale Senior Center.
