5 Year Anniversary

This month marks the 5 year anniversary of the Hughes Food Bank. Since December 2007, we have distributed 25,841 bags of groceries and served 1,250 individuals. That is a huge contribution for a small community like Hughes, AR. Countless families have had food provided to them in times of need. God has worked through a great group of committed volunteers to provide a valuable service to the community.  There is a big need for volunteers to help out at the monthly distributions.  If you feel led to give back in any way, please contact Tal Goldsby at 901-569-1744.

Raffle, Raffle, Rafflle!!!

September's distribution was great. We had some new volunteers that really pitched in enabling us to successfully meet the needs of our patrons. God always supplies us with touched hearts!!!!!

Our last raffle netted the food bank over $700 with all proceeds utilized for utilities and food purchase.

We have another raffle with tickets now on sale. This gun is an over/under made by Stoker in Brazil. It has a single trigger, barrel selector, ejectors and changeable choke tubes. It is a Ducks Unlimited gun with Ducks Unlimited engraved on the receiver. It is new in the box and has never been shot.

Tickets are $5 apiece with a free ticket for every five tickets purchased. The gun is donated by Pat Bonds and all proceeds will be for The Hughes Christian Outreach Ministries. Please thank Pat when you see him.

The raffle will take place at our November distribution on the 19th just in time for hunting season and Christmas!!!!!!

You can purchase tickets to benefit our ministry and maybe win a new gun for dad, son wife or daughter or whomever has been good all year!!!!! Or pretty good.

If you would like tickets, please contact Tal Goldsby talgoldsby@gmail.com
