7hills Homeless Center

Fayetteville, Arkansas

Fayetteville homelessness organization welcoming Day Center walk-ins and scheduled shelter, meal, donation, clothing-closet, outdoor, and group service.

7hills Homeless Center supports people experiencing homelessness through a Day Center and immediate shelter. Its official volunteer instructions tell volunteers to review and sign the handbook first. Non-students may then walk in at the Day Center with a copy of a state ID, while University of Arkansas students select a timeframe through GivePulse. The Day Center can accommodate groups of up to 10; larger groups contact the community-relations staff member. Published tasks include donation and storage organization, outdoor trash and debris collection when weather permits, clothing-closet operation, meal service, and cleaning or resetting shelter common spaces.
