A big thank you to the wonderful team at Royal Sanctuary Therapy Farm, Inc. for hosting our OCC kids! They had a great time learning how to make pickles and sourdough bread, as well as trying their hand at sewing, crocheting, & making potting soil.... very hands-on, indeed! We appreciate the time and patience shared with our youth and are grateful for community partners who create these memorable summer days! 💙

The fog will lift. The miles will unfold. The climbs will test you.

Registration is opening soon for the Ouachita Gran Fondo for Families IV. New mileage. New Routes. New Ride.

The countdown has begun. Will you be ready when the road calls?

Last week, our OCYFS team came together from every department for our Resiliency Summit to build the tools we need to bounce back from the hard work we do and better empower those we serve to do the same. We’re grateful for a mission-driven team that leans in and grows together, even on the tough days.

A HUGE thank you to Stubby's BBQ for providing lunch and helping keep us going and Ouachita Behavioral Health and Wellness for letting us get off of our own campus and into their conference room! 💙

We have exciting news.... we’ve secured a new home for our Domestic Violence Transitional Housing program!

Now, we need your help to turn this house into a safe, welcoming home for the survivors we serve. We’re currently in need of a few essential items (please note: mattresses must be new, not used). If you’re not able to donate items, monetary donations are always appreciated and go directly toward creating a space where healing can begin.

You can reach out with any questions: [email protected] or call 501-623-5591. 💜
