"Run for the Girls" is a fundraiser for the
Girls Shelter of Fort Smith, Inc.
Where sheltering is just the beginning.
The Girls Shelter of Fort Smith - A United Way Community Partner - opened in 1970 as a temporary emergency shelter. Since then, the Shelter has developed and grown into a long-term residential treatment facility. In April 2002, a new 7,000 square-foot facility was built on a two-acre lot at South 26th and Quincy. The shelter is licensed for eight girls, ages 12 – 17 years old.
Our mission is to provide a safe and encouraging atmosphere in a residential setting for at-risk females aged 12 – 17 years: to promote positive behaviors, character enhancement, educational advancement, and to reunite with family.
As one Board member put it, “we have one year to pour all the good into them we can possibly give them.”
