Sevier County Holiday Assistance Application

NEWS RELEASE October 10, 2022

Submitted by: Kim Frachiseur, 4-H Program Assistant

Families may apply for holiday assistance by completing an application process. A new universal application has been formed to make the process easier for residents. Shop w/a Cop, Shop w/a Brother’s Keeper (BKMC), and any other organization that would like to provide aid this holiday season are welcome to use the applications. Each organization will select families for their individual programs by using this application. This means that families will only have to apply once this year.

This is for Sevier County residents only. Please be aware that assistance is given based on need, and just because you apply, you are not guaranteed assistance. For any questions, please contact Kim Frachiseur at the Sevier County Extension Office by calling 870-584-3013.

Residents may fill out the online form by going to https://forms.gle/NkWPvtZGkQ7Yy5ZT8, or paper copies may be picked up at the De Queen City Hall or the Sevier County Extension Office.

The University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture is an equal opportunity/equal access/affirmative action institution. If you require reasonable accommodation to participate or need materials in another format, please contact the Sevier County Extension Office as soon as possible. Dial 711 for Arkansas Relay.
