Bentonville Nonprofits and Charities

I love hearing the stories coming from the villages that Lifewater has helped! Stories of not only clean water & clean living, & all the peace & strength those basic life necessities have brought to the people, but also the way the Gospel has been shared & received. Lives are being saved both physically & spiritually through Lifewater International!

This grant is a joke , I applied for help when I roommate left me high and dry , with eviction notice got denied, there reason , it was my fault. So I had no place to live . <br>Then applied for help with my car, my receipt was to generic , which is all I had did everything they asked for over and over again, but since I paid cash and got the money from a friend I was denied yet again, so now I'm left with the lose of friend because I couldn't pay them back, and no help from the grant that is to be there for there employees. It was just for my car it was other bills and I did everything asked for I called multiple times.. no this grant is a joke .

Steps Care is doing an outstanding job at reaching the needs by educating faith based communities how to be inclusive.

In April of this year our 23 year old nephew went into the hospital for a hernia repair. The surgeon opened him up and saw something he had not hoped<br>to see, a tumor. Biopsies were taken and sent to many educational/medical facilities around the country which all came back as ASPS (Alveolar Soft Parts Sarcoma). We<br>were told how rare this form of cancer is and that in Arkansas there is one place that has Sarcoma Medical Specialists and sent us to them for further care.<br>The Rockefeller Cancer Institute of UAMS in Little Rock was where we were sent and helped! We were so scared and everything we read on the <br>internet made us even more scared. One of the surgeons we saw is Dr. Corey Montgomery, Orthopedic Oncology Surgeon and Board Member of a charitable<br>organization formed in our state in 2015 by a lady that also had had ASPS. He gave Kristi Rogers’ information to us and we were quickly talking with her<br>regarding her experience and helpful information that she had learned from her personal experience. Kristi started Cancer Charity4Life to raise money<br>for research. This organization does not spend most of it’s money on Administration, most of the donations go directly to fund research of Sarcoma<br>Cancers. After 3 surgeries we hope the next one will be the last. We would not have had this hope if we had not met all the wonderful people in the<br>Cancer Institute and UAMS hospital and most especially, Kristi Rogers and Cancer Charity4Life. <br><br>The Ward family

White Cell Inc puts the individual and their health and needs first.

We really are not a non-profit, we are a not for profit. We have a group that is called Pay It Forward: Mercer and Surrounding Counties and also one called Pay It Forward Christmas Child. Basically what we do is we give people a hand up instead of a hand out when there is a need. If a family suffers loss from a fire, flood, tornado, is homeless because of domestic situations or just down and out we lend them a helping hand. During the Christmas season we help children that fall through the cracks of society have a little merrier Christmas through helping them find sponsors. This year alone our group helped over 60 children from several different counties. This has been ongoing for 4 years now and it has been such a rewarding journey for us. We started the Facebook group in hopes that the message would spread and in our state it has! Everything we do comes out of pocket except for the sponsors purchases at Christmas. Donations of used furniture, clothes, shoes and such are taken in, but anything that costs comes from us. It would be a blessing to many people in this area if we could win this. We would also like to start blessing bags to hand out to the homeless in the area. Thanks for allowing us to have the chance to win. If needed, I can provide testimonies from people that have been helped by our group as well as the group members. God bless!

Beer & Hymns helps fund raise for local charities by providing free community sing-a-longs at breweries and wineries. They invite other charities to come in to speak about their causes and then provide an outlet for donation for that charity. <br>The events are really fun, social and made for all ages - our family loves going and ends up supporting charities we normally wouldn't know about in our area.

Congregation Etz Chaim NWA www.etzchaimnwa.org is sponsoring Project 613 &ndash; a community effort to restore an orphaned and damaged Torah that is approximately 200 years old and was recovered in Prague after the Holocaust. Once restored the Torah will be entrusted to Congregation Etz Chaim in Bentonville Arkansas where it will be part of worship and education.<br>I have given as a founding member (11 yrs) of this growing community. I have been blessed deeply by this experience and so fortunate to have helped create a Jewish life for my son who will be a bar mitzvah May/2016. If all goes well, our son will be the first to read from this restored Torah. An honor our family will never forget. Continuity of our faith and tradition has been of upmost importance to my husband and I in establishing this synagogue and now as so symbolically represented in the restoration of this Torah.

i learned about fistula when i was desperately looking for an NGO to at-list work as a volunteer because it is part of my hobbies and cant stand to see my brother or sister suffering yet they can get love and assistance from me. Though i have'n't got to join any volunteering team to date but one thing that keeps me up to date is through the emails i frequently receive by Fistula foundation. I have read a lot of touching stories that really moved me but through that it enables me to learn how to appreciate everything God has granted to us. Though i haven't participated in donation i believe my prayers are being heard upon them and that won't stop. It is great news for what Fistula foundation is doing especially for women. Keep the good work.

Where is any information or financials on this organization? It's been 2 years since they've been established and I can't find any public record as to where the money they raise is actually going. They are currently raising money now for "Families of the Newton Shooting" but they don't list one organization they are supporting. HopeMob is nothing more than glorified marketing for groups that are doing actual work, so launching a campaign with no listed beneficiary is a major fail. Coupled with not financials anywhere, makes me think this group is ripe with fraud. Where is the transparency?
