Jaylen Smith was just 18 years old when he was elected Mayor of the small community of Earle, Arkansas. With a population of 2,000, it had been years since the town had a grocer. Even before his election, Smith set his sights on revitalizing Earle and providing more food access. That’s when he reached out to Dollar General to request a DG Market. Thanks to Mayor Smith, Earle’s new DG Market is now serving residents, helping provide nearby access to fresh meat and produce. “It’s going to be more jobs, and it will address the food insecurity problems that we have,” Mayor Smith said.

"We used to have to drive several miles to get fresh produce, and now it's just simpler. If my grandkids are coming over and we need bananas, I don't have to go eight miles to a large grocery store. I can go one mile to Dollar General and there they are." Morris T., longtime Hitchcock, TX, resident.    After Hitchcock’s only grocery store closed ten years ago, the town’s 7,000 residents were left without access to fresh food and produce, traveling miles for groceries.     We were happy to work with the mayor to serve the community, expanding our store to add produce in the heart of town. Learn more about our efforts to bring fresh foods to a community in need: https://lnkd.in/gdRiqpqf
