Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – April 20, 2024 – The annual Touch A Truck event was held Saturday in the NEA Baptist Clinic parking lot.

Touch A Truck involves participation of business and government entities bringing their trucks and special vehicles. Kids are given the opportunity to get “up close and personal” with the vehicles they typically only get to see from a distance.

The event is organized by the Nettleton EAST program as a service project. Proceeds from the event benefit NEA Baptist Charitable Foundation’s HOPE Circle, which provides support for cancer patients being treated in the NEA Baptist Fowler Family Center for Cancer Care.
