WM Foundation was created in memory of William Mitchell Gardner. During William's short time on earth, he taught us so much about faith, hope, and love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 tells us "the greatest of these is love." The mission of WM Foundation is to spread Christ-like love by supporting local needs within Arkansas County, the community where William would have grown up. Thank you for supporting WM Foundation and helping to keep William's memory alive!

Back to school means BOOK RE-STOCK for the Reach Out and Read Program sponsored by WM Foundation!

There will now be a Reach Out and Read (ROR) site at both Baptist Clinic in DeWitt and Stuttgart! We’re so excited to expand the program in Arkansas County.

Through Reach Out and Read, each child gets a brand new book at every well child check up between birth and age 6. This means a total of 10-12 books to grow that child’s home library. The books are also used to assess development and counsel on the importance of reading in speech development and school readiness.

It takes ~$35-40 to provide one child with 10-12 books. If you’d like to help support ROR, you can make a tax deductible donation to the WM Foundation via paypal.

Thank y’all and God bless! 💙
