Each year we rely heavily on the support of the generous NWA Community and this year we need that support more than ever. In the early morning hours of Sunday, May 26th multiple confirmed EF2 and EF3 tornadoes devastated several communities throughout Northwest Arkansas, specifically Benton County where NWAWS is located. The Shelter (the exact location of which is undisclosed for safety reasons) was in the direct path of one of the storms.
Our shelter sustained significant damage from the storm, and in the process of cleanup, significant amounts of mold were found in the building, making it uninhabitable for the foreseeable future. We are continuing to meet the needs of survivors seeking safety by providing hotel stays. This unexpected pivot has increased the monthly amount required to safely house and support our clients with things like food, transportation, clothing, laundry, medications, etc. Please consider sponsoring and/or attending Fresh Start to help us continue this important work.
