🎉🎉🎉

🎉 IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE! 🎉

Today, May 13, 2026, is officially Community Action Day in Arkansas, as proclaimed by Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders!

Community Action is all about meeting people where they are, strengthening local communities, and empowering everyday Arkansans with the tools and resources they need to move forward in life. Across all 75 counties, this work is making a real difference—every single day.

Now we want to hear from YOU! 👇
💬 How are you helping to empower communities across Arkansas? Drop it in the comments and let’s celebrate the impact together!

Let’s keep showing up, lifting others up, and creating pathways to opportunity—because when we work together, there’s no limit to what our communities can achieve.
