One Church: Unite Arkansas in Faith & Mission

2025-2026 Partner: St. Edward Outreach Center in Texarkana

We invite you to join One Church: Unite Arkansas in Faith and Mission, an initiative in the Diocese of Little Rock that began in 2018 to help a mission church in our diocese for a 12-month period that needs a one-time boost to become a thriving community. This year’s partner is St. Edward Outreach Center in Texarkana, which provides a sack lunch to 200 hungry and homeless people every weekday. While the church is building a larger outreach center this year, your One Church donation will help them expand their operation to serve more nutritious foods and open a food pantry so the clients can have meals on the weekends and holidays.  | Leer en español | Learn More

In addition to your financial support, you can help the St. Edward Outreach Center by sending them an Amazon gift card, ordering needed items from their Amazon wish list, creating Hygiene Kits or Blessing Bags, knitting scarves or hats or donating other important items to help their clients. Parishes, schools and organizations can host a monthly drive to donate items like backpacks or coats for St. Edward Outreach Center during the year. | Fundraising Ideas | FAQ
