Every day, children enter care with little more than the clothes they’re wearing. 

Your generosity helps provide safety, comfort, and stability to children in need across the state.

Our Needs List highlights the most high-priority donation needs for children in Arkansas. Whether you’re donating supplies, hosting an event, or giving as a group, your support makes an immediate impact.
