Pine Bluff’s First Ward Living Grace Food Pantry holds food giveaway

PINE BLUFF, Ark. – Spring break has arrived, and for some students that means it will be tougher to get a healthy meal this week.

In Pine Bluff, the First Ward Living Food Pantry held a food giveaway to help families fill that gap.

There was also a carnival and cookout and dozens of cars lined up in advance of Sunday afternoon’s event.
