AmeriPride makes huge donation to Jericho Way

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- AmeriPride Services made a big gesture of kindness Monday.

The company, a linen and uniform rental service, donated a substantial number of products like bath towels, wash cloths, mats, kitchen towels, aprons and other items to Little Rock's new Central Arkansas Homeless Day Resource Center.

The brand new day center will provide people with shelter, hot meals, employment assistance, health referrals and other resources all at no charge.

It was unexpectedly a blessing. I am very, very humbled by the attitude and the gratitude that AmeriPride has shown," said Christopher Porter, a Jericho Way case worker.

This is the first time the city of Little Rock will provide direct services for the homeless and working poor.

Gibbs Magnet students recognized for helping Newtown students with duct tape

From city of Little Rock:

(Tuesday, May 21, 2013) There is a saying that one can fix anything with duct tape. At the May 21, 2013, the City of Little Rock recognized students from Gibbs Magnet School of International Studies and Foreign Languages for using duct tape to help those affected by the December shootings in Newtown CT.

The students are third graders in Jennifer White's classroom at the school. According to Little Rock City Manager Bruce T. Moore, the students approached Ms. White asking what they could do to help the students in Connecticut. They brainstormed various ways to help. One student offered, "I make things out of duct tape, and we could sell them to make money." Out of that, the highly successful KIDS STICK TOGETHER (KST) project was born.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - If Chris Keene could have her way, her dog Roxanne would never leave her side.

"We like to travel with her, and bring her places with us," Keene says. 

But finding places to take the beloved Golden Doodle became a problem when the family moved back to Arkansas.
