U of A and Local Business Collaborate on Supply Drive for Nonprofits

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many local nonprofits have requested hygiene items for their clients in need.

Melody Taylor of Beautiful Lives Boutique, a nonprofit women's thrift store in Fayetteville, is hosting a supply drive to collect essential items for organizations that have seen increased need. Beautiful Lives' profits and services support organizations that serve vulnerable women and children in the community and around the world.

Madison Sutton of the Social Innovation Initiative at the University of Arkansas will manage collection, inventory and re-distribution of the goods to community partners.

Donors will be able to drop off their donations at the Fayetteville location of Beautiful Lives Boutique in a container labeled for the supply drive.

Needed items include personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies and paper goods.
