Good morning, neighbors.
Please be advised that the grounds are still a bit slippery due to the recent winter storm, though progress is being made. If you plan to visit, we kindly ask that you send someone who is able to navigate the area safely, as it may not be suitable for individuals with limited mobility at this time.
Thank you for your understanding, and please use caution.

Notice to Our Neighbors:
Today’s regularly scheduled Thrift Store hours were eliminated as emergency services and urgent community needs took priority. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
At this time, we continue to serve neighbors and families who are experiencing housing emergencies and have no place to stay and are low on food. Addressing those immediate needs is our focus today. We look forward to seeing you next week. Thank you for your patience, compassion, and continued support as we care for our community.

Good morning, neighbors! 🌤️
Today is usually Thursday Thrift Store Day, but I am providing emergency food boxes for those who may need them.
Please take your time and be extra careful walking up to the porch, as the grass is still frozen and a bit slick. Your safety matters to us.
I’ll be here until 2:00 PM and happy to help however I can. Stay warm, stay safe, and take care of one another. 💙

Good morning, Neighbors 🤍
Times are hard, and we know that infant formula can be very expensive. Please remember that the St. Francis County CARE Center offers FREE emergency infant formula to families in need.
If you are running low on formula, please do not give newborns red juice, water, sugar water, or sugary drinks. Even with the best intentions, these can be harmful to your baby’s health.
Our goal is not to judge or discourage anyone we simply want your baby to be safe and healthy. If you are struggling, please reach out to us to see if we have the formula your child needs. You are not alone, and this happens more often than people realize.
We also encourage parents to contact their pediatrician or the St. Francis County Health Unit before taking advice that may unintentionally harm your baby.
We are here to help, with care, compassion, and confidentiality. 💙
