Get involved

Every Sunday, CTC takes the love for what we do and our dedication to the service and provides a full course dinner meal for our underserved in our community. This program is a weekly fixture that ensures community involvement and out reach. We need your support to offer free of charge these nutritionally balanced hot meals to those in need.
 

 According to the USDA, the United States, wastes an estimated amount of 30-40 percent of the food supply.  CTC  is partnering with local farmers to stop food insecurity from the ground up!

The  realization of how often we waste food and the negative impacts it can have for food security, the environment, and climate change is not there. The truth is, reducing food loss and waste could benefit everyone now and in the future.

Hunger exists. The local food banks, shelters, and soup kitchens depend on on the donations they receive from people like you to help keep the shelves full. Food drives   raise awareness about hunger and  inspire others to take action. Since we are an organization still in development, we have partnered with other community resources to put our efforts to use.

As the weather gets colder in Little Rock, we are reminded to dress appropriately to combat the elements. However, those experiencing homelessness or who cannot afford  clothes may struggle with the seasonal change. For those in need, CTC distributes  clothing and accessories during our feeding events to the chronic homeless and poor. Each year our supplies are exhausted, and we need to replenish these items.   

The NPPP program was created to assist with non perishables, daily care provisions, and seasonal necessities. It is important to remember that we all have the same needs as human beings.  The need for daily care provisions is no different. Non-food items cannot be purchased with food stamps, so toiletries and household cleaning supplies are not always accessible.  We provide essential items, during events, that are often financially out of reach.  We need assistance in keeping these items available.

 Individuals with food insufficiency consume less than the recommended servings of vegetables and fruits. These individuals will have an increased risk of developing chronic diseases.  With exposure to food and nutrition education, participants can then use foods available at pantries to create safe and nutritious meals for their families. We also believe culinary education is a way to simultaneously address multiple challenges: homelessness, the need for employable skills, and the high demand for labor in the food-service industry.
