Highlight

For The Love Food Truck Bringing The Community Together One Meal At A Time

Impact NWA recently interviewed the team behind For the Love Food Truck, capturing the inspiration behind the nonprofit food truck that is bringing folks together one meal at a time.

• Feed People: Meredith Chapuis, Jennifer Cristofaro, and Melinda Williams founded For the Love in Oct 2020 with the bold mission to feed the hungry, cultivate community, and fight poverty. Since the first meal in Oct 2020, they’ve served over 72,363 meals across NWA with the help of 3,000+ volunteers.

• Love People: For the Love hosts regular Neighbor Nights — essentially a block party with music, games for the kids, and neighbors getting to know neighbors and the simple rule that no one leaves hungry. Join an upcoming Neighbor Night every Monday in Springdale, every Tuesday in Rogers, and every Thursday in Bentonville.

New Upscale Student Housing Development In The Works In Fayetteville

Construction is about to begin on Axis, a 246-unit, 658-bed upscale student housing project in Fayetteville set for completion by fall 2026.

• If You Build It: The Axis development is being spearheaded by Tim Whittenof Russellville, who also built The Bend on Promenade luxury apartment development in Rogers.
