September is Family Meals Month in Arkansas! Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has officially proclaimed it, and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate. Did you know regular family meals are linked to stronger relationships, better grades, and healthier habits for kids and teens? Yet only 30% of families share dinner together every night. This month, we're cheering on our retail members who make it easier for families to get a good meal on the table — from fresh prepared foods to easy recipe ideas. What's your family's favorite go-to meal? Tell us in the comments! 👇

May we always remember.

On Monday, Gov. Sanders and state officials announced the July 1 changes to the Arkansas SNAP program, joined by Arkansas Retailers Executive Director Steve Goode.

Our biggest priority throughout this process has been making sure retailers and customers aren't left to figure out these changes alone at the register. That's why we're glad the state's work with Sifter Solutions, a Chicago-based company building a dynamic, regularly updated list of SNAP-eligible items. Sifter has created the new AR SNAP Companion app. Customers can scan a barcode themselves and know instantly whether an item qualifies, putting the information directly in shoppers' hands.

AR Retailers are excited to partner with Sifter Solutions as we continue to navigate these changes.
