We were so honored to partner with the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and the Arkansas Department of Corrections to host a Safe Sleep course on Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day at the Dr. Mary L. Parker-Reed Women’s Health Unit.

Embodying the spirit of a "day on, not off", by providing critical health education to more than 10 pregnant women at the Women’s Health Unit, the Cribs for Kids® National Infant Safe Sleep Initiative curriculum aims to reduce infant mortality rates. 👶🏾

During the session, participants received practical training on safe sleep environments to prevent Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome (SUIDS).

By leveraging the 2026 MLK Day of Service, the partnership ensured that expectant mothers in the correctional system had access to the same life-saving resources as the broader community, honoring Dr. King’s legacy through direct action and health education.👩🏾‍🏫

Thank you, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Arkansas Department of Corrections, and Arkansas Children's Hospital for the opportunity to partner in this way.

Access to healthy food is the foundation of a vibrant life! While 1 in 5 Arkansans and 1 in 4 children face hunger, we are committed to closing that gap and reducing chronic disease through better nutrition.🍎🍏

We were honored to host our 2nd No Cost Food Market at the historic Bethel A.M.E. Church Little Rock, recently. Together with our partners, Potluck Food Rescue, UAMS Culinary Medicine, Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, and AR WIC Breastfeeding, we made true impact:
• More than 2,000 pounds of crisp, fresh fruits and vegetables. 🍍🥦
• Shelf-stable pantry items 🥫
• Wholistic support, including important health screenings, SNAP enrollment, and WIC assistance. 🩺🩹

A HUGE thank you to our incredible volunteers and Commissioners who came to help make this a successful day for the community. 👏🏾
