SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KFTA)–A U.S. senator from Arkansas toured a Springdale food pantry Friday to find out how the organization is helping the community during the summer.

Sen. John Boozman (R) spent an hour at “Feed the 479”, a pantry operated in the Compassion Thrift Store on Thompson Street. He inquired on the daily operation of the pantry, as he expressed a worry about low-income children not having enough resources to eat enough meals during the summer while schools–known for providing free or reduced lunches during the year–aren’t in session.
