The Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas has announced drive-thru USDA food distributions scheduled for Monday, August 10, 2026, at two locations in Randolph County.
The first distribution will take place at the Reyno Community Center, located at 6790 Biggers-Reyno Road in Reyno, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. or until supplies are depleted. The second event will be held at the Maynard Community Center, located at 34 Mitchell Street in Maynard, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. or until supplies run out.
Households are eligible to receive USDA food once a month, provided they reside in Randolph County and meet income guidelines established by The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). To establish eligibility, recipients can self-declare their name, address, family size, and combined monthly household income.
Individuals may only collect food for their own household unless they are authorized to pick up for another eligible household. Those picking up food on behalf of someone who is shut-in, elderly, or otherwise qualified must present a signed authorization containing the name, address, family size, and combined monthly income of the household receiving the food. Case workers picking up for multiple households must make prior arrangements with the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas.
Food will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Staff and volunteers will utilize translation apps to assist individuals with limited English proficiency.
The Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas and the U.S. Department of Agriculture adhere to non-discrimination policies prohibiting actions based on race, color, national origin, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability, age, or retaliation for previous civil rights activity.
