Arvest makes donation to Food Bank

Arvest Bank officials recently presented Mike Williams, third from left, director of development for the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank, with a check representing 250,000 meals to help those with food insecurities in the four counties -- Benton, Carroll, Madison and Washington – served by the Food Bank. The presentation was part of the bank’s annual Million Meals program that ran in April and May. Assisting in the presentation were: Miranda Ludolph, Arvest; Casey Cowan, Food Bank’s director of client data tracking; Shirley Wichman, Sara Bolek, Becca James, all of Arvest; and Kent Eikenberry, president and CEO of the Food Bank. The drive raised 1.88 million meals to assist 70 food banks and organizations in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
