EverHope Children’s Shelter Program
Emergency Shelter for Children Across Arkansas
Before healing can happen, children must feel safe.
While our name has changed, the purpose of our EverHope Children’s Shelter remains the same. We provide 24/7 safe emergency shelter for children experiencing abuse, neglect, or family crisis.
Our staff are trained in trauma-informed care and are present around the clock to ensure every child feels safe, cared for, and supported while beginning their journey toward healing.
When children arrive at EverHope, they are met with compassion, stability, and hope.
Meeting Children’s Basic Needs with Dignity and Care
Every child who comes to EverHope receives:
A warm, comfortable bed
Consistent, balanced meals
Healthy snacks throughout the day
Clean, well-fitting clothing
Access to baths, showers, and personal hygiene items
These essentials restore dignity, stability, and a sense of normalcy during an incredibly uncertain time.
Why EverHope Matters
Many of the children we serve have never been able to trust the adults in their lives.
By consistently meeting their daily needs, our trained staff begin building trust–one moment, one meal, and one bedtime routine at a time.
Each child receives an Exit Survey upon their departure from EverHope Children’s Shelter.

A New Name, the Same Commitment
EverHope Children’s Shelter is the new name for the Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter program, reflecting our deep commitment to standing with Arkansas’s children through trauma and toward lasting stability —fostering hope at all times.
While our name has changed, our mission remains the same: to provide safety, stability, and compassionate care to children in crisis.
