Good morning, Little Rock.

Today on National Nonprofit Day, Arkansas nonprofit ABBA Charities supports women facing crisis pregnancies by guiding them in life planning—helping with choices like adoption, parenting, and post-adoption care.

The organization, led by founder Kandi Cox, is raising funds to expand its office and build a home for pregnant women in the state.

Arkansas corrections officials revealed critical missteps in Grant Hardin’s escape as a former police chief who broke out of prison — a newly released report details how planning errors helped him flee.

The Arkansas Chapter Trail of Tears Association had its annual meeting on August 16 and showed a new project—Water Route for the Drops that Filled the River: Blood, Sweat and the Trail of Tears that uses custom art, signs, cards and online pieces to trace a 400-mile path through Arkansas. The project honors the strength of tribes forced to move along the Trail of Tears.

Dr. Ahmad Yousaf returned for his second volunteer mission to Gaza—after a colleague's call convinced him to go back, despite his family's concern and the ongoing fighting.

Eric Godwin of the Little Rock Athletic Club demonstrated the Single Leg Burpee in a Master Class—an exercise advised for adjusting workout routines as fall nears.
