Nonprofit Spotlight
Changing Lives Through Community
Have you heard about Providence Park? It's a new housing project designed to give long-term, supportive, and eco-friendly homes to people who have been homeless for a long time, all within a community-focused setting.
🛠️ Building a Foundation: After meeting and becoming friends with unhoused individuals near her workplace, Errin Stanger realized that giving them blankets and directing them to resources would only help for a short time. So, she had an idea. After five years of research and planning, her idea became a reality called Providence Park.
🏘️ Changing Lives: Inspired by Austin’s Community First! Village and working in partnership with Pulaski County, Providence Park plans to house 400 tiny homes with full support services, including medical, mental, and dental, and offer income opportunities for central Arkansas’s chronically homeless.
You can take a virtual tour of the tiny home HERE.

I Scream, You Scream 🍦
We all scream for ice cream! That’s right, there’s a new ice cream place in town! Scoops, which has been a Hot Springs favorite for almost 20 years, has expanded to Little Rock.
🍦 Things will be great when you're downtown 🎶 : Scoops opened in April off of Broadway in Downtown Little Rock. It’s the perfect location to stop by after a show at the Robinson Center or an Arkansas Travelers home game.
☕️ More than ice cream: You’ll be able to try 24 homemade flavors of ice cream or stop by for a coffee and a croissant sandwich for breakfast.
Check out Scoops in Little Rock: you’ll love this new downtown gem!
