Donate Goods

Because we are a temporary home for hundreds of women and children a year, we need all the things any home would use. We are happy to accept your donations of food, toiletries, and clothing. Call our main office at 479.246.9999 to make arrangements for dropping off or picking up donations.

Any donations that cannot be used in the Shelter will be sold at our thrift store.  All proceeds from the thrift store go to support the Northwest Arkansas Women’s Shelter.  We accept items for donation on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, 10am – 4pm, and on Saturdays, 10am – 2pm. Please call 479.621.6116 for more information.
