At Sunday’s Blessings, residents in need received free household goods and essentials, food, and care packages filled with thoughtful items and various resources.

“Our first event in May showed us how important this work is,” said Tanisha Akinloye, founder of Empowering Through Beauty and the Pea Ridge Partnership initiative. “We’re creating a consistent space where the community can come together, feel supported, and receive essentials with love and dignity.”

All are welcome to attend—no registration is required. PRP invites individuals, families, and neighbors to stop by after church or weekend activities to receive the resources they need in a warm, supportive environment.

“This initiative is part of the broader mission of the Pea Ridge Partnership, which brings together organizations, leaders, and residents to collaborate on improving the preservation of health, well-being, and quality of life throughout Polk County,” said Akinloye.
