Riverfest Highlight: Bring Items for Food Drive, Get a Free Coke or Shuttle Discount

If you're headed to Riverfest, you might want to take along a donation to the food drive that's part of the festival.

Bring a non-perishable food item to the shuttle pick-up locations and get $1.00 off of the $3.00 round-trip fare, or bring your item to the food collection points at Riverfest and get a coupon for a free Coke product.

Riverfest is teaming up with the Foodbank, Walmart and Coco-Cola to help the Foodbank fight hunger, which affects more than 500,000 Arkansans.

Arkansas is among the top states for hunger and childhood hunger in the nation, so whatever you bring will help.

Summers are particularly difficult for kids because they are out of school and miss the school lunch they get during the school year. The Foodbank helps to fill that gap.

There will be three food collection points set up throughout the festival.
