Our local chapter likes to support our community and one of the strongest relationships we have is with the NWS Woman’s Shelter Thrift Store. Our visit to the NWA Woman’s Shelter Thrift Store event in late January was a big success. We had 12 people help. We had scheduled from 10-1, but was able to wrap up early with so many hands. A few of us ate chose to eat some food at a nearby taco place, in shopping center after the event.

This was fun and invigorating to have so many people help, and make quick work, and over 30 hours of support in the time we were there. Chris Sweeny was even asked a few questions by local newspaper reporter who also took some candid shots of us working. I never was able to find the news article but it is not why we were doing the event but if you find it let me know.

Below is a few candid pics I took. We look forward to keep this relationship going.

Please join us for the upcoming roadside clean up.

Adopt-A-Highway Road Cleanup – Our first road cleanup of 2026 will start at Onyx Coffee (101 E Walnut Ave, Rogers, AR 72756) at 7:30am.  We will carpool from downtown Rogers at 8:00am.  The 1 mile section of road takes approximately 90 minutes to clean, and we anticipate returning to Rogers by 10:00am. Orange vests and trash bags will be provided by Benton County. For those able to join us, we recommend wearing long pants, gloves and hat (sunscreen and bug spray, if needed). We have plenty of “grabber tools” to borrow of these can be purchased online separately. Please come support the Ozarks Chapter of FFRF by doing good in our local community!
