EUUF Proud to "Back our Kids"
Beginning Aug 2025, EUUF will join Flint Street to support school children and their families each weekend with nutritious food.
Our EUUF service on Sunday, July 20, 2025 was presented by Rick Delaney, board president of the Flint Street Fellowship. Rick shared Flint's current
programs, including Back Our Kids, which benefits local Eureka Springs students. In the 2024/2025 school year, the Back Our Kids program provided 160 bags of food EVERY Friday to children who are food insecure so their families will have nourishing items to eat over the weekend. They expect to serve the same number of kids and families this coming 2025/2026 school year.
We are excited to announce that beginning in September, 2025, EUUF will be volunteering a team to assemble the bags and deliver to the schools once a month. In addition, we will be redirecting our monthly potluck donations to support the program.
Flint Street Fellowship is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. The Back Our Kids program is funded through community fund-raisers, individuals, churches, businesses, and grants. The organization is run primarily by volunteers with only one paid employee.
In the first 6 months of 2025, Flint Street Fellowship has supplied 323 households with 1843 units served. In 2024, there were more than 3,200 visits. In addition to the food pantry and Back our Kids, the Fellowship has a clothing closet and Pat's Angels to help with rent and utilities. They are also a designated USDA Distribution Center. No one is turned away.
