Financial Support

The Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter relies on the financial support of the community in order to provide services to the children who need us. Approximately 29% of our $2.1 million budget is received from State contracts and an additional 4% is funded by the United Way. The remaining 67%, over $1.4 million dollars, must be raised through private contributions and fundraising events. To learn how to make a financial gift to the shelter,

Donation of Needed Items

Children come to us during a crisis in their lives when it is difficult to get access to their clothing and personal items. Donations of clothing, shoes, underwear, and toiletries meet basic needs, while blankets and stuffed animals help comfort the children during their stay.

In addition, non-perishable food items help provide three nutritious meals each day, and supplies such as diapers, wipes, and laundry detergent help care for the children's daily needs.

Specific needs, such as clothing or diaper sizes, change frequently. For information on immediate needs or to receive our monthly needs update, please email
frankie@nwacs.org
