Methodist Family Health has a way for Arkansans to honor the Lenten season by contributing to our state's children and families who are abandoned, abused, neglected and managing psychiatric, emotional, behavioral and spiritual issues.

The 12th Annual Get Up & Give collection project asks Arkansans to contribute necessities to the children and families in Methodist Family Health's care. The project is during the entire 40 days of Lent — Wed., Feb. 17 through Thurs., Apr. 1 — and both children and adults can participate by donating personal hygiene items, clothes, shoes, school supplies, bedding, funds and other necessities to the Methodist Counseling Clinic in their community.
