Introducing EverHope: A New Era for Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter
Introducing EverHope: A New Era for Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter
Same mission. Same heart. Expanded care.
For more than 30 years, the Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter has been a safe haven for children in crisis. Today, as EverHope, that same commitment continues — supporting children not just in emergencies, but through healing, education, foster care journey, and transition into adulthood.
The Shelter remains at the heart of who we are, and EverHope reflects our expanded continuum of care and our promise to walk with children and families as long as they need us.
EverHope – Hope for children and families, at all times.
EverHope
Hope should not be temporary.
Every child deserves more than a moment of safety; they deserve enduring hope that carries them through trauma and toward healing.
Your support allows us to provide 24/7 emergency care for hundreds of children who have experienced abuse, neglect, abandonment, or trauma.
From the moment a child walks through our doors, they are wrapped in a quilt of care. We promise to walk with them every step of the way.

You don’t know her.
Yet – your support has helped her
Abigail endured 38 foster placements and serious medical neglect before arriving at EverHope. She was fearful and unsure of her worth.
With our consistent care, trauma-informed counseling, and community support, she healed, rebuilt trust, and rediscovered hope.
Thanks to your support, she is now thriving in a permanent, loving home. Abigail’s story is proof that your support truly changes lives.
