Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Serve Northwest Arkansas is working with our community to create solutions out of homelessness and poverty through transitional housing and dignity centered community care initiatives.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
New Beginnings Community
Through our "New Beginnings Community" initiative we are working to provide temporary housing while unsheltered persons begin to work with case management to find more permanent solutions toward stable housing.
Laundry Love
Laundry Love Projects partner with community volunteers to provide clean clothes to those living in situations of poverty in Northwest Arkansas.
Art in the Park
Art in the Park gives the gift of creativity and self-expression.
This event aims to bring out the beautiful part in everyone. The emotional reward of utilizing one’s own individualism is at the heart of this event. The community spends a Saturday afternoon painting, enjoying the wonderful Northwest Arkansas weather, and sharing a meal. Having both individual qualities and personalities are what makes us people. Serve wishes to celebrate that with people who often times chose food and shelter over recreational activities.
