Battle of the Businesses 2026
The donation battle of the century is coming to a local business near you! From November 1 – 14 we are organizing a food drive to donate food and hygiene products to those in need within the community. Let’s KNOCK OUT food insecurity! 💪
The Saline County Library is proud to announce our 3rd annual battle for the business with the biggest heart. Who will donate the most food and hygiene products and take home the Golden Belt?
We need your help to stock the pantries in Benton, Bryant, and East End at our library branch locations for another 6 months!
So how does it work?
- Local Saline County Businesses will sign up to compete for who’s got the biggest heart!
- At each location, there will be a box set up to accept donations
- Customers of that business will add items from our list of Items in Need (below)
- Whichever business is able to gather the most donations gets to take the Golden Heart Belt and bragging rights. Not to mention supporting our no-questions-asked food pantry!
