Annual Reports
We work through our 21 chapters in rural communities throughout Arkansas to share resources, information, and strategies, and we collectively advocate for policies that benefit low-income families, children, and communities. Our members decide on the issues and concerns they address at the local level as well as state-wide and national issues that we support. Each year, we produce an annual report that shows our progress on chosen issues.
