Welcome to Every Child Is Ours

We take for granted that our children have basic educational tools and supplies such as pens, paper, books, and book bags. Sadly many children do not. Nor do they have proper food to fulfill their nutritional needs. These children, along with their parents and grandparents, are our responsibility. While Every Child Is Ours is becoming well known for our work in Jackson County and Northeast Arkansas, we are truly an international organization. We are partnered with schools in Acuña, Mexico and Kanana, South Africa.

Programs under the Every Child Is Ours umbrella include:

• North Jackson County Food Pantry, serving families in Tuckerman, Swifton, Grubbs, and Campbell Station
• Jackson County Literacy Council
• Back Pack Program, sending food home to over 70 elementary and middle school children every Friday during school year
• Has been actively involved in initiating, supplying and supporting libraries in the township of Kanana, South Africa
• Ongoing relationship with schools in Acuna, Mexico with teacher exchanges, donations of books, schools supplies, lesson plans. We’ve welcomed their principals and teachers to our Arkansas State Capitol on five separate occasions. They have performed in our schools and communities. Relationships have been built that will last a lifetime.
• We have been working in Pine Ridge, South Dakota for over ten years. We have supplied school materials, books, coats and Christmas presents to the children of the Sioux Nation.
