      <image:title>Stories - God Doesn’t Waste Anything - A story of God's unhurried, unrelenting, unseen work.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Often, we will have an interaction or experience and we do not know what the final outcome is, or if our efforts are wasted. However, once in a while, we do get to see a results, or another chapter in the story, possibly even the end of the story. Recently, a former client of ours passed away. He was one of our very first Hand Up Housing clients. Eric was living under the interstate freeway bridge in NLR when we got acquainted with him. He ate breakfast and lunch with us almost everyday and started helping out and cleaning up after meals. We asked him to help us with some special projects, and we realized that he was chronically homeless, meaning more than a year without shelter or repeated homeless episodes over three or more years. He also had untreated mental illness that made his life very difficult.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - God Doesn’t Waste Anything - The recent news of his passing was tough to hear. We’ll miss him and his big smile. However, Eric had a chance in this life to be cared for, to be a part of a church family, to live in peace and in comfort and in community. As a statistic, Eric would be viewed as a failure. He broke too many rules and was asked to leave our housing. But we didn’t give up, and Eric didn’t give up, and God doesn’t either.  People who cared and would love him in a godly way and help him get what he truly needed. Let’s be obedient and leave the control of the outcome to the Lord.</image:title>
      <image:caption>After all, it’s His kingdom, and they, and we, are His children. He is busy about His business. He is not wasting His efforts or ours. Thank you for being a part of what God is doing in this work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Story - Humble Beginnings</image:title>
      <image:caption>River City Ministry (RCM) is a faith-based human service and community organization solely dedicated to the impoverished, the marginalized, and the disenfranchised of our society.  RCM began in 1989 at Silver City Courts (HUD housing community) as an outreach ministry of the Levy Church of Christ. Over the next four years several locations in North Little Rock housed this expanding service organization. In 1993, a house was donated to RCM, followed by the incorporation of RCM as a non-profit organization.  Two years later a property on Cypress was traded for four lots at 1021 East Washington  Avenue, and a  4000 square foot building was erected to house RCM’s growing needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Story - Medical Services</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since 1994, a Sunday afternoon Medical Clinic, with an accompanying pharmacy, has served the homeless and uninsured to meet their medical needs. The volunteer staffs of doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, pharmacists, and registrars volunteer their time to meet the medical needs of this community. The patient is examined by a physician who then prescribes appropriate medication. If the pharmacy has the drug in stock, the patient will get a 30-day supply. Volunteers then file with the various patients assistance programs for additional medication.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Story - Dental Services</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2001, RCM’s medical clinic added a two-chair dental clinic with two volunteer dentists.  In 2007, this was expanded to three chairs with over 300 patients a year served through the dental clinics. Since that time, the number of dental patients served doubled to over 600 per year. In 2011, over 1,600 appointments were filled through the dental clinic.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Story - Social Services</image:title>
      <image:caption>By the time Little Rock and North Little Rock leaders gathered in 2006 to form a ten-year plan to address homelessness, River City Ministry was ready for the challenge. River City Ministry served as the Homeless Day Resource center from 2006-2013 as Little Rock completed its new center.  Beginning in 2013, River City Ministry’s social services department began managing HUD housing programs for homelessness prevention and intervention. Our social services team is able to offer case management to guide program participants through the housing process to greater stability.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Story - Spiritual Services</image:title>
      <image:caption>Though it has grown and evolved through the years, RCM holds firm to its mission of meeting basic human needs and connecting people to God through Christ-centered relationships. We offer devotionals, pastoral care, and discipleship opportunities to all who are seeking a relationship with their creator.</image:caption>

      <image:title>River City Run/Walk 5k - The starting line.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The River City Run/Walk 5k all started with one woman’s idea. 20 years ago, a volunteer told us we needed a social worker on staff. She was right, we really did, but we had no funds to pay another staff member. This volunteer happened to be a social worker and offered to raise her own pay. So she started a 5k and raised her salary! All these years later, our 5k is running strong and is one of our most successful fundraisers. It just goes to show what can be accomplished with a dream and a lot of hard work. All proceeds support our goal of feeding, housing, and providing medical, dental, vision, and spiritual care for the homeless, marginalized, uninsured, and underinsured people of Central Arkansas. Look at all your donation helps make possible!</image:caption>

RCM is a faith-based, non-profit organization serving the poor, homeless &amp; addicted by feeding the hungry, clothing those in need, caring for the sick through their pharmacy, medical, vision and dental clinics, and sharing the gospel message daily.  For more information about our mission and services, please visit our home page. The internship begins with an orientation on May 31st and concludes on July 31st.

      <image:title>Internships - Daily &amp; Weekly Structure</image:title>
      <image:caption>The internship is a 9-week program. The work day is from 8am - 3pm Monday-Friday. Each day begins with a guided devotional time. Interns meet weekly with their mentor to ask questions, pray, and process what they are learning, seek advice and discuss how this experience is affecting them and others spiritually. RCM interns generally have Saturdays and Sundays off to rest and relax, spend time working on required readings and accountability sheets, and for personal time with God. There will be a 5k event on a Saturday when interns will need to work. River City Church of Christ is a sister ministry, some of the people you serve attend there. You are welcome to attend and assist with worship or Bible classes. You are expected to regularly attend worship services at another congregation if not attending River City Church.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Souper Bowl Sunday - Special Teams!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Souper Bowl of Caring 2026! As followers of Christ, we are called to feed the "hungry and care for our neighbors. In Pulaski County, over 63,000 people struggle to put food on the table. Behind that number are parents skipping meals so their children can eat, seniors choosing between groceries and medication, and hardworking neighbors relying on food pantries to survive. But together, we can change the game! There are a few ways to support. You can start by setting a giving goal for yourself, your office, group, organization, or church.  Make it fun and host a Souper Bowl party and charge admission. Give your guests the opportunity to donate at the level that feels right for them: General Admission – $2 (provides 1 meal) Preferred Admission – $4 (provides 2 meals) Lower Bowl – $140 (provides breakfast for a day; ~70 meals) 25-Yard Line – $190 (provides lunch for a day; ~95 meals) VIP Seating – $330 (provides both breakfast and lunch for a day; ~165 meals) If hosting a party isn’t for you, consider becoming a Game Sponsor: VIP Seating – $330 (meals for one day) Skybox – $1,650 (meals for one week) Season Pass – $6,600 (meals for one month) Of course, you can always give in your own way and at your own level. However you choose to participate, we invite you to support Souper Bowl of Caring 2026 and help transform small gifts into life-changing impact. Join our Neighbors Helping Neighbors community and help tackle hunger—one meal, one family, one act of love at a time. “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” Matthew 25:35</image:caption>

      <image:title>Souper Bowl - Special Teams!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Souper Bowl of Caring 2026! As followers of Christ, we are called to feed the "hungry and care for our neighbors. In Pulaski County, over 63,000 people struggle to put food on the table. Behind that number are parents skipping meals so their children can eat, seniors choosing between groceries and medication, and hardworking neighbors relying on food pantries to survive. But together, we can change the game! There are a few ways to support. You can start by setting a giving goal for yourself, your office, group, organization, or church.  Make it fun and host a Souper Bowl party and charge admission. Give your guests the opportunity to donate at the level that feels right for them: General Admission – $2 (provides 1 meal) Preferred Admission – $4 (provides 2 meals) Lower Bowl – $140 (provides breakfast for a day; ~70 meals) 25-Yard Line – $190 (provides lunch for a day; ~95 meals) VIP Seating – $330 (provides both breakfast and lunch for a day; ~165 meals) If hosting a party isn’t for you, consider becoming a Game Sponsor: VIP Seating – $330 (meals for one day) Skybox – $1,650 (meals for one week) Season Pass – $6,600 (meals for one month) Of course, you can always give in your own way and at your own level. However you choose to participate, we invite you to support Souper Bowl of Caring 2026 and help transform small gifts into life-changing impact. Join our Neighbors Helping Neighbors community and help tackle hunger—one meal, one family, one act of love at a time. “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.” Matthew 25:35</image:caption>
