Our House was voted “Best Charity” (pg.30) by the readers of the Arkansas Times. We are very fortunate to be part of such a supportive community. We could not be the “Best Charity” without the hard work of our many volunteers and donors.  Thank you to everyone who helps Our House give hope to the working homeless.
