Family Fun Day
A free, high-energy community event built around children, families, joy, resources, giveaways, and the belief that restoration starts with connection.
3104 SW Bright Rd, Bentonville, AR
A doorway to strengthen families and community.
Family Fun Day is designed to create a visible, joyful, barrier-free space where families can show up without cost, shame, or pressure.
Mission
Arkansas Restorative Initiative supports restoration, reentry, family stability, and community connection for individuals and families impacted by incarceration, hardship, poverty, addiction, trauma, and limited access to resources.
Purpose
The purpose of this event is to remove barriers and give children and families a free, welcoming afternoon of hands-on activities, positive connection, local support, creativity, play, and access to community resources.
Goal
The goal is to strengthen families, build trust, encourage children, connect people to resources, and remind the community that prevention and restoration begin long before crisis.
What families can experience
Families can expect a bright, welcoming, family-oriented afternoon with hands-on activities, community resource tables, youth enrichment opportunities, creative stations, games, giveaways, treats, and meaningful connection with organizations that care.

Fun zones, learning moments, and little sparks of joy.

Community involvement is growing.
Family Fun Day is being built through a growing network of local participation, donated items, sponsorship outreach, volunteer interest, and community conversations. These names represent the broader circle of involvement, support, outreach, and partnership efforts helping shape the event as we continue building toward July 25th.
Giveaways are part of the plan.
We are working to provide giveaways and donated items for children and families attending the event. These may include books, toys, art supplies, activity kits, school-related items, snacks, drinks, hygiene products, experience passes, raffle items, backpacks, and other practical or joyful support from partners and sponsors.
Joy matters.
Children deserve spaces where they can play, explore, create, and feel included.
Support matters.
Parents and caregivers deserve connection to resources without judgment or barriers.
Want to volunteer, donate, sponsor, or be part of it?
We are looking for volunteers, activity partners, giveaway sponsors, resource tables, youth-friendly organizations, family-centered businesses, and anyone willing to help create a meaningful day for children and families.
