The Conway County Care Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located at 108 West Broadway in Morrilton, Arkansas. The Care Center was started in 1989 because the work to feed the needy was done by individual churches, and no one church could handle all the needs of the community. For over 35 years, the Care Center has been faithful to meet individuals and families at their point of need. We strive to be a loving and caring organization committed to feeding and supporting the people of Conway County. Alongside that mission is a vision to ensure that no one in Conway County goes hungry. We carry out these goals through operation of a food pantry and thrift store in downtown Morrilton.
Stop by to visit, to find out more about our services, or to drop off your clothing and food donations. The Care Center’s thrift store is open Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 am to 2:30 pm and on the first Saturday of the month from 9 am to 2 pm. Though the store is closed on Wednesdays for restocking, we do accept donations at the rear of the building from 9 am to 2 pm on Wednesdays as well. Revenue from the thrift store serves to generate a portion of the income needed for overhead costs of the Care Center. All items are donated, and the proceeds of their sale is used to help offset operating costs.
The Care Center’s food pantry is also open Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 am to 2 pm and on the first Saturday of each month from 9 am to 2 pm. Food is available free of charge to Conway County residents once per month per household regardless of income.

Thrift StoreWhen people make donations of clothing, shoes, or household items, those items become a part of the Care Center Thrift Store. People can purchase items in the thrift store at a low price, and the proceeds help with the expenses of running the Care Center. When there is an immediate need, such as when someone's home burns, we supply them with items from our thrift store, free of charge.
