Join our AIPL team and partners at the next free no-cost market this Fall 2026. Share donated food with neighbors in need. Watch here for details.

Free no-cost markets have been held over the past two years at various community locations in Pulaski County. At the June 13, 2026 No-Cost Market at the North Little Rock Community Center, 17 volunteers used their own vehicles to help distribute 2,640 pounds of food to more than 100 recipients. Over the past two years, AIPL has worked with partners to expand and strengthen no-cost markets. Partners have included Arkansas Community Organization, Little Rock Workforce Development Board, No Closed Doors Youth Ministry, Sacred Groves Ministry, and others. Markets often also include donated dental kits, hygiene kits, vegetable seeds, and other items for neighbors in need.

In April 2026, AIPL interns and many volunteers planted 100 fruit trees in the edible orchard at Providence Park in Mabelvale. Volunteers also worked in the vegetable garden at Providence Park that day.
