A fresh meal is more than a plate of food — it’s a sign that someone cares and that there’s hope for the future. As people across Little Rock get ready to make their voices heard, often facing great, nearly insurmountable challenges to do so, we can support and uplift them and show them how much they matter. World Central Kitchen is using the power of food to make Election Day one of community and hope.
People often cast their vote before work, during their lunch break, or after work — all prime meal times. World Central Kitchen knows that while long lines are an inconvenience for some, for many they can mean the difference between voting and not voting. For these reasons, World Central Kitchen and its partners are activating Chefs For The Polls to serve nourishing meals on early voting days and Election Day. They will be stationed by polling locations sharing meals with anyone – no questions asked.
“Since March, World Central Kitchen has been in Little Rock working with partners across the city, area food trucks and restaurants, bridging gaps in our communities. Chefs For The Polls allows us to continue building community and supporting our neighbors.”- Lori Ducey, World Central Kitchen
World Central Kitchen joins forces with food trucks and restaurants, continuing to engage with community-driven solutions that provide fresh meals – and also keep small businesses open in the midst of a health and economic crisis.
Chefs For The Polls is a non-partisan effort that will feed people of all political parties and beliefs. Meals are not offered as an incentive or reward for voting; rather, meals will be available at polling sites for anyone who is hungry.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, and both early voting sites and regular polling places will be open from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm.
On Election Day, all early voting sites will serve as polling centers, and will be open to voters from anywhere in the Pulaski County.
