About Mow For Hope
The Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter is recruiting volunteer mowers to participate in Mow for Hope. This is a social distancing event that will help raise funds to keep the services of the Shelter available during the Covid-19 season.
As a registered, volunteer mower you will have a personal fundraising page plus we will provide you a fundraising packet via email. You are encouraged to promote your mowing service to neighbors. The event is scheduled for July 19-31 but you can select whatever dates during that 2 week time period that work best for you to mow lawns. Before or after you mow, the neighbors can make their donation on your page or provide you with a check if they prefer. Share the event with your friends as well. The Shelter can also provide any signatures needed for service hours if you are earning those as well.
You can earn rewards for reaching each fundraising milestones.

Why Participate?
Since 1993, we have provided a safe haven and loving care to more than 11,000 children from throughout the state of Arkansas. These children have all suffered the trauma of abuse and neglect, but with the guidance of our Shelter team and the support of the Northwest Arkansas community, we are showing them the way to a brighter future. In 2018 alone, we provided 174,840 hours of care to children in crisis. Here are just a few of their stories.
How Your Support Makes a Difference
The Emergency Shelter program focuses on meeting the basic needs of the children so they can begin to feel safe and to heal from the trauma they have experienced. Meeting these basic needs is one of the first ways that our staff can begin to build trust with the children in our care – many of whom have never been able to trust the adults in their lives. These basic needs include: A warm bed, consistent, balanced meals, healthy snacks, clean, well-fitting clothing, access to baths/showers and personal hygiene items and most importantly - Loving care provided 24-hours per day
