Northwest Arkansas Soup Sunday was a great success!  We had our biggest crowd ever at the event on Feb. 28.  About 550 people sampled soups and desserts, mingled with friends and listened to the sounds of the McFetridge Quartet.  We are growing our community of child advocates in Northwest Arkansas and want to include you in that number.  Can't wait to see you next year!

AACF's Northwest Arkansas Office opened in September 2008 after years of planning and effort by AACF staff and board members. The office serves the community through researching the state of children in the area and spreading that knowledge to help better the lives of children and families.

Laura Kellams, AACF's Northwest Arkansas Director, spent the first year on the job conducting a "listening tour" to learn about the specific challenges that low-income children in the area face.
