The Center for Nonprofits @
JTL Shops (previously Family Resource Center) has been
serving the families of Northwest Arkansas and
beyond for over
ten years. It was a dream of the late Bernice Young
Jones, founder of the Jones Center for Families,
to have a central location of agencies and services.
Her wishes were for a building where agencies
could all be housed together, with nominal charges
for utilities and space use. Many of the agencies
have called the Family Resource Center home since
the doors opened to the public in 1996.
