The CALL in Southeast Arkansas has recognized its 2026 Business Partners for their commitment to supporting vulnerable children and foster families across Ashley, Bradley, Chicot, Desha, Drew, and Lincoln counties.
The CALL is a faith-based nonprofit that recruits, trains, and supports local foster and adoptive families. The organization also works to keep communities informed about the needs of children in foster care while leading efforts to meet those needs in a consistent and comprehensive way.
“The CALL rallies local community support for children and families impacted by foster care,” said Betsy Anderson, Southeast Arkansas Affiliate Director for The CALL. “Through our church and community partnerships, we show up for Southeast Arkansas’s children experiencing foster care and the families who stand in the gap with them.”
Anderson emphasized that the organization’s work depends heavily on local support.
“Our work is 100% donor funded, so we literally could not do this work without the help of local business partners,” Anderson said. “Our Corporate Partnership Campaign provides critical underwriting for the daily work of The CALL in Southeast Arkansas and is one of only two annual fundraisers that support our work. The other is our CALL to Celebration banquet scheduled for September 19 this year.”
The CALL expressed gratitude to its 2026 Business Partners, whose contributions strengthen the network of support surrounding children in foster care across the region.
