The 2009 Food Distribution was held December 18, 2009 at the True Holiness Saints Center. Many individuals, church, businesses and civic organizations donated money, non-perishable items and their time to ensure that 375 families in Faulkner County received food. Items included were two of the following: walnuts, peanut butter, apple sauce, orange juice, corn, green beans, soup, beef stew, pinto beans, baking mix, dry milk, and one of the following: brownie mix, macaroni & cheese, stuffing, cranberry sauce, drink mix, 5 lb. bag of mixed fruit, brown and serve rolls, a dozen eggs, large can of candied yams, box of cereal, large can of coffee, and a 14 lb. turkey. The Turkeys were available due in part to funding received from the Faulkner County Community Foundation Grant.
Families also were able to select books for children and family members. These books were collected by Friends of the Library in partnership with the distribution.
Conway Jr. ROTC students, Conway Christian School students, current and former members of Junior Auxiliary of Conway, community volunteers, along with CAPCA staff helped with set up and distributions of the boxes.
