Join HealthCARE Express in supporting Sevier County families with donations this October.
Hunger is closer to home than many people realize. In Sevier County, families face food insecurity every day, especially as the holidays approach. At HealthCARE Express, we believe health care means more than urgent visits; it’s about standing alongside our neighbors in times of need. That’s why our De Queen clinic is hosting a month-long canned food drive this October to support local food banks and help families right here in our community.
Local Food Banks & Pantry Partners in De Queen
Your donations will go directly to food pantries and organizations serving families in Sevier County and surrounding areas, including:
- DeQueen Senior Center – Helping provide nutritious food to seniors and families in the community.
Why Canned Food Drives Matter
“Food insecurity isn’t just about hunger; it affects every part of life, from health to education to emotional well-being,” said Dr. Spencer Reynolds, of HealthCARE Express. “By donating a few canned goods, you’re not just filling a pantry, you’re filling hearts with hope and helping neighbors know they’re not alone.”
Canned goods are essential because they are easy to store, nutritious, and versatile. Collecting them in October ensures food banks have supplies before the holidays, when demand increases significantly.
How to Participate
Dates: All month long in October
- HealthCARE Express – De Queen, AR (1021 W. Collin Raye Dr.)

A Community Call to Action
Dr. Reynolds shared this encouragement:
“One small act of giving can create a ripple of change. If each person in De Queen gave just a few cans, we could provide thousands of meals for local families. That’s the kind of impact that lasts well beyond October.”
At HealthCARE Express, we’re committed to caring for our community inside and outside the clinic walls. Join us this October at our De Queen clinic, bring a few canned goods, and help fight hunger—one can at a time.
