Poverty rates are higher in rural areas compared to urban areas. Poverty rates in rural areas are typically higher as a result of limited public transportation, employment opportunities, education, and healthcare. Did you know Arkansas has the seventh highest poverty rate in the nation?
Together, we can help reduce and hopefully someday end poverty by advocating for poverty awareness. It takes regular people to make a change and bring attention to our local representatives of local poverty issues and its importance. Anyone can donate or volunteer at our local food pantry at 320 S. Baltimore St. Manila, AR 72442.
