Lewis Automotive Group is proud to provide ongoing monthly support to the Ramay Junior High School Food Pantry, an essential program serving students and families in the Fayetteville community. In partnership with the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank, this pantry helps ensure that local households have reliable access to nutritious food throughout the year.

Supporting Families Every Month

The Ramay Junior High Food Pantry isn't a seasonal program - it's a dependable resource that families count on all year long. Each month, Lewis Automotive helps with:

• Event setup and operational support

• Providing signage and awareness materials

• Helping distribute food and supplies

• Supporting logistics with volunteers and team members

Our continued involvement allows the pantry to operate smoothly and reach more families who need consistent access to groceries.

Why Monthly Support Matters to Us

Food insecurity affects families across Northwest Arkansas, and schools play a vital role in bridging the gap. By supporting the pantry every month, Lewis Automotive helps ensure that:

• No student goes without essential food items

• Families facing hard times have dependable assistance

• The pantry can operate efficiently with steady community backing

This long-term partnership reflects our commitment to caring for our neighbors - not just during the holidays, but every month of the year.
