We are grateful recipients of a recent Clearwater Paper Corporation grant to help ensure we have the therapeutic resources on hand to support children in foster care in Southeast Arkansas all year long!

This funding allows us to help local foster & adoptive homes meet the sensory, emotional and behavioral needs of local children impacted by foster care.

Yesterday was our first Day for Dads Retreat to encourage the foster & adoptive Dads in Southeast Arkansas! 🎣🏈🥩🙏🏻

Dads enjoyed good food, fishing, fellowship, football and encouragement from the Word.

“He restores my soul.” - Psalm 23:3
We know refreshed and restored dads mean more healing in the hearts and homes we serve.

Thank you to Collins Lodge for providing a beautiful spot for this special time! Your roots run deep into our mission, and we are so grateful for your help making this important event possible.

Thank you to TJ Files from Immanuel Baptist Church Warren for coming to share hope from the Lord and your own lived experiences as a foster & adoptive dad.

Thank you to fellow dads, Levi Hammil and Michael Anderson, for volunteering your time to lead the day.

Thank you to our partners across Southeast Arkansas that continue to give and make moments like these possible.

We had a wonderful morning with the church family at First Baptist Church Monticello this morning!

The CALL in Southeast Arkansas was thrilled to take part in the Area 10 Division of Children & Family Services Resource Parent Conference today in Dewitt!

Team member, former foster & forever adoptive mama, Jamie Hammil, shared her powerful story of supporting birth parents with the love of Christ as an Area 10 foster parent.

Affiliate Director, Betsy Anderson, encouraged the resource parents in attendance with practical strategies to care for themselves so they can “stay in the game” of caring for children who are experiencing great loss and pain.

We are grateful to walk alongside those investing their lives in the care of local children in foster care.
