Local Businesses Open Hearts and Wallets, Help Seniors and Feed Children
Amid concerns of the Coronavirus some local business owners have offered their businesses as places of refuge for both Senior Citizens and Children in need of help.


From Jennifer Matsubara at Shelby Lynn's Cake Shoppe

With all this craziness and stocking up on goods. I am asking all of my friends, if you have extra toilet paper, Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, etc....Please consider donating some of yours to the Springdale Senior Center. Our most "at risk" citizens can't purchase these much-needed prevention supplies. You can drop off at the cake shop and I will take them to the Senior Center and you can get a free petite for or cookie for being a good human. Or drop off at the senior center if you can.


From Nick Morgan at Marco's Pizza

While I don't know the exact numbers, I do know we have a large portion of kids in NWA that are on reduced and/or free lunches. If schools here are canceled there will be a number of kids who don't get to eat as most of their meals only come from school.

If schools are canceled here and you or your kids are hungry, please stop by one of our shops; Jersey Mike's (Bentonville, Rogers) or Marco's Pizza (Bentonville, Springdale, Fayetteville). There is no need to be shy or embarrassed. Just come to the register and quietly let us know you've either seen this post or heard about it.

We will make sure you and your kids get a meal. We serve the community and don't exist without you all. Take care, keep washing those hands, and keep on moving!

Everyone feel free to share this. Thanks to my friend Jenne McCarty for the inspiration.


From Brent Hale at Bix Sexy Food Trucks and Sammich Love

It appears that it is quite likely that schools will be closing in the near future.

If this happens there will be a significant number of children on the schools free meal program who go without food. This is unacceptable.

We assume that school districts will do what they can but we also assume that will be limited for a wide range of reasons.

We want to help. If schools are canceled and you and your family need food please let us help. Come by any of our locations for BIG SEXY FOOD (Rogers & Springdale) or SAMMICH LOVE (Springdale) and let us feed you. Please don't hesitate or be embarrassed. You can simply and quietly let our team know that saw this post or that you heard about it and we will make sure you and you family get a meal.

We love our amazing people here in NWA. We would not and will not be here without you and your support. Be kind. Check on your neighbor. And above all, love each other, just wash your hands first.
Share this to anyone you feel needs to see it.

From Jordan Jones at JJ's Grill in Springdale

We are overjoyed to see the outpouring of support from local businesses offering to help ease the burden of the impending and current school closings associated with COVID-19. These closings and potential closings will leave a large number of kids that are currently receiving free or reduced meals without access to those meals, and as has always been our policy, kids eat free at JJ's. We are offering all kids (K-12) on free or reduced meals at school to come eat a kid's meal FREE without the purchase of an adult entree during these closures.

In addition, we will be offering curbside to-go orders for those guests who feel less comfortable coming inside, just place your to-go order as normal and when you arrive, give us a call. One of our staff will bring your meal directly to you.
