Levy Donates to Local Food Pantries
The cancellation of sporting events at the University of Arkansas left plenty of food intended for fans sitting in the pantries and freezers of Levy, the university's concessionaire, but on Monday Levy made a generous food donation that will find its way to those in need in Northwest Arkansas. Levy and Razorback Athletics worked with the University of Arkansas in a coordinated effort to provide for others as part of the "Determined to Help" initiative.
The food will be donated to at least four food banks:
- Samaritan Community Center — serving thousands of free to-go meals every week in Rogers and Springdale.
- Cup of Love in Eureka Springs — a small food pantry that offers free food, hygiene, jackets, blankets and more to those in need.
- LifeSource — a food pantry in Fayetteville that hands out food bags.
- Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Food Pantry - serving those in need within the university community.
