SUMMARY:The CALL Batesville Support Center Ribbon Cutting April 14 2026 Sharp and Independence Counties Arkansas
DESCRIPTION:A major step forward in supporting children and families in foster care is happening April 14 2026 as The CALL opens its new Batesville Support Center with a public open house and ribbon cutting. \n \nThe event will take place at 411 S Central Ave. in Batesville Arkansas\, with the open house scheduled from 12 to 2 p.m. and the ribbon cutting at 1 p.m. \nThe new Support Center is designed to serve the growing needs of foster\, adoptive\, and biological families across Sharp County Arkansas and Independence County Arkansas\, where approximately 80 children are currently in foster care. \nThe facility features a home like setting for biological family visits\, a CALL Mall providing essential items such as clothing\, diapers\, and beds\, and expanded training and support services for families working toward reunification. \nAshley Beller\, Director of The CALL in Sharp and Independence Counties\, says the impact is already being felt. \n“One of the most meaningful milestones for our new Batesville Support Center has been beginning to host biological family visits. And perhaps the greatest testimony to the space we’ve created is seeing children feel so comfortable that they’re running and playing in their sock feet. That is everything—it shows this space is a place that truly feels safe\, warm\, and like home.” Ashley Beller Director\, The CALL in Sharp and Independence Counties \nThe organization continues to invite businesses and community partners to support its mission through sponsorships\, helping ensure every child in foster care can remain close to home in a safe and supportive environment. \nIn 2025\, The CALL doubled the number of licensed foster homes in Sharp County Arkansas\, launched support groups\, provided resources to more than 60 children\, and expanded services into Independence County Arkansas. \nCommunity members are encouraged to attend and learn how they can be part of the mission.
