LITTLE ROCK – The Family Assistance Center for residents impacted by the March 31 tornado has been relocated to West Central Community Center, 8616 Colonel Glenn Road.

The Family Assistance Center is a partnership among the City of Little Rock and a number of nonprofit and community organizations. The Center was previously at Immanuel Baptist Church’s City Center. It is moving to West Central and scaling back operations as the immediate, emergency response winds down and the focus shifts to long-term recovery and rebuilding.

The FAC move follows the relocation of federal and state disaster relief services to West Central Community Center earlier this week.

On Saturday, April 15, tornado-impacted Little Rock residents may pick up pre-packaged bundles of donated, food, water and necessities at West Central from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. After that, relief packages will be available Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

In addition, the Salvation Army is providing hot meals to affected residents at West Central each day until April 21.

FEMA, the Small Business Administration and State officials are stationed at West Central from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily to speak directly with affected residents about disaster aid and other assistance. No appointments are necessary to visit specialists at the Disaster Recovery Center.

Please note that during tornado relief operations at West Central, the City of Little Rock’s senior citizen programming has been relocated to East Little Rock Community Center.
