Take Mark, for instance. A Fayetteville native, Mark found himself homeless after a series of personal setbacks. With the assistance of 7Hills, he secured a job and housing, and now volunteers at the center, offering guidance to others in situations similar to his past. Then there’s Sarah, a single mother who turned to 7Hills when she and her two young children had nowhere else to go. Through the center’s resources, Sarah found stability and a new home, and today, her children play gleefully in the park nearby, their peals of laughter a testament to the power of community support.

Why It Matters for NWA
