A Year Ago Today... In the early morning hours of Wednesday, March 30th, 2022, an EF-3 tornado moved through Springdale, leaving a path of destruction behind it. In the midst of it all, our community came together and supported one another through acts of service, a multitude of volunteer efforts by local, state, and federal organizations, generous donations by those in Arkansas and surrounding states, and other vital resources. We will not forget the love that was shown following the events. We are thankful and grateful to everyone's efforts. *Photos of damage courtesy of Southwest Times Record.
