Thanks KNWA & FOX24 - Northwest Arkansas & River Valley News for covering our Despensa this weekend!

SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — An immigrant rights group is concerned about the lack of support they are seeing in their community affected by COVID-19.

Arkansas United Youth Committee partnered with St. Raphael’s Catholic Church in Springdale and local high schools to provide food and other basic needs.

They held a distribution drive-by Saturday at the church to hand out food and feminine hygiene products to those who need it.

“During these times, it’s been difficult for a lot of people, so just the fact that we’re able to help even a fraction of our community really means a lot to us,” said Hana Mehal, President of Arkansas United Youth Committee.

The committee, some of whom are immigrants themselves, also conducted a COVID-19 vaccine awareness campaign.

They said they hoped to motivate Latinx members of the community to get vaccines when it is their turn.
