Haven & Hope is a Northwest Arkansas community advocacy organization created to help women, children, individuals, and families feel heard, supported, and connected to the resources available within their community.

We believe difficult experiences can become part of someone's story without defining the rest of it. Through advocacy, education, resource connection, community outreach, and partnerships, Haven & Hope seeks to help create a community where people know they do not have to navigate difficult circumstances alone.

Our Story

Haven & Hope began in 2022 with a desire to advocate for women and children impacted by traumatic and difficult life experiences and to help people discover the support available within their communities.

Originally founded as Raise Your Voice, the organization began through advocacy, awareness, community outreach, donation initiatives, and relationships with organizations serving women, children, and families throughout Northwest Arkansas.

As the vision grew, so did the heart behind the name.

Haven represents safety—a place where people can feel heard, valued, and supported without judgment.

Hope represents what comes next—the possibility of healing, rebuilding, finding strength, and beginning again.

Today, Haven & Hope continues that original mission while growing toward a broader vision: helping strengthen the connections between people who need support and the organizations, resources, and communities ready to walk alongside them.
