I didn't know where else to turn.

When everything fell apart, Jackson House was there. They didn’t ask questions—they just helped. Because of them, my kids had food on the table and gifts at Christmas

I’ve had to stop at the Jackson house a few times… once on the way back from Children’s Hospital in Little Rock due to being out of gas and quite a bit far from home still yet and the second time was when I had just moved to hot springs and was extremely low on groceries with 2 small children. Both times they packed my car full of clothes, food and toys for myself and my kids. It didn’t matter if I wasn’t a resident of Garland or not the first time as long as I had my identification card and they were very nice and friendly on both occasions! I’d recommend anyone in need look into stopping by there for assistance.

When I moved back to Hot Springs, I was broke from paying first & last months rent for a place to live. Jackson House food pantry gave me a generous amount of groceries & canned dog food. The next month I bought & donated 120 large cloth shopping bags. Those were needed for folks who don’t have a vehicle & walk to their food pantry. I will be volunteering to help there. Such a caring, special place to have in Hot Springs.

Emergency Assistance & Community Support at Jackson House

At Jackson House Crisis Intervention, we are a short-term emergency assistance crisis center dedicated to helping individuals and families during difficult times. We primarily provide food assistance once every six months, along with clothing, housewares, and hygiene kits every three months. In certain emergency situations, we may also provide what we call an “emergency box,” which contains smaller amounts of essential items for those facing immediate hardship.

Because we are not funded by the government or the city, our resources are limited, and we are only able to provide assistance to community members in need every six months. However, thanks to the incredible generosity of our local donors and volunteers, we are also able to offer many additional forms of support that we do not widely advertise.

Our mission is simple: to be an accepting and empathetic place the community can come to for help when in crisis and to provide hope, dignity, and compassion to neighbors in need when they need it most.

We serve individuals and families residing in Garland County who have lived in the county for at least six months. Clients are required to provide a local photo ID if they are already in our system. If they are not currently in our system, they must provide either a local photo ID or a bill or piece of mail showing a local address if they do not yet have a local ID.

Applicants must also provide their Social Security number, a DHS referral, or proof of SNAP benefits. If they would like to add household members to their case, such as a spouse or children, they must provide birth certificates or documentation proving legal custody of the child. If a birth certificate is unavailable, we may accept alternative documents such as doctor’s notes, school counselor documentation, or court records showing custody.
