Giving Back The Women’s Shelter of Central Arkansas

A Non-profit organization founded in 1995, The Women’s Shelter of Central Arkansas is a perpetual non-profit corporation engaged in providing a promise of hope and a haven of safety for women and children who seek protection and relief from domestic abuse while residing in Faulkner county, Arkansas, and surrounding areas.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women in the United States. Violent behavior in a relationship is almost certain to be repeated, again and again, unless there is intervention. Children raised in a chaotic, abusive environment are seven times more like to grow up and repeat the same behavior as adults. The effects of domestic violence reach beyond the family – victims are less able to perform in a school setting, the workplace, and in normal adult relationships. Everyone in the community will feel the negative results of families who are living with violence.

Our facility offers a 24-hour Crisis Hotline along with an Emergency Shelter, and Rape Crisis Response. We hold support groups for primary and secondary victims of sexual assault, and domestic violence along with Prevention Education Programs. Safety Planning, transportation, and assistance filling out Crime Victims Reparations forms are also a part of our services. We offer Legal Advocacy, Prescription Assistance, Food/Clothing, and Child Advocacy services.
John Miller and his crew at Conway Remodeling and More, teamed up with Victoria Harvey, Owner of H2O Pools and Supplies in Conway, to help The Women’s Shelter repair some siding on their building. As part of our “Giving Back” campaign, we are proud to be a part of this organization.

“The Heart of Your Home” The Kitchen

Have you ever wondered why family and friends tend to gather in the kitchen? What about the kitchen makes it a magnetic attraction? The household kitchen was designed for preparing and cooking meals. However, over the past several decades, the kitchen has slowly morphed into the epicenter of the home.

The family kitchen provides a space for fun family activities. Cooking and baking are a great bonding experience. It gives everyone an opportunity to get a little messy, create new things and learn new recipes. Remembering my grandmother’s kitchen, sitting at the kitchen table playing board games with my cousins while she is frying chicken for supper.

In recent years, families have begun to adapt their kitchens to provide a more encouraging environment to congregate. With open designs and a comforting space, family computers and daily homework time have made their way into kitchens so that kids and parents can be together while dinner is being made. Because of this shift in kitchen dynamics, it is important your kitchen space is designed to be welcoming and encouraging for your family members to come together.

Your kitchen sets the tone for the rest of your home. People invest a lot into kitchen upgrades because it is the most valuable and useful room when it comes to the resale value of your home. Your kitchen can not only provide a meal but a complete experience. An inspiring and stimulating space is the epitome of a great day!

Try small upgrades first. They can go a long way. Like painting the cabinets or changing the counter tops can dramatically change the mood of your kitchen. A new back splash or new hardware can be great additions to your overall look.

At Conway Remodeling and More, we can make your dream kitchen the heart of your home. Our skilled design specialist and team of experts provide complete design, consultation and installation services to help turn your vision from Drab to Fab!
