Project Zero connection events are great opportunities for waiting kids and open and approved waiting families to come together in a non-threatening, fun environment to interact and get to know each other. Every month, Project Zero hosts at least one connection event with the sole purpose of building hope in waiting kids and ultimately bringing them together with the right forever family.
These events are also a great time for volunteers to join us on the 'road to zero' and for individuals, businesses and churches to use their areas of expertise to pour into the lives of waiting kids!

Pastor and church staff friends of NWA please join us for a free lunch and find our ways your church can make an impact through prayer. In the fight to find adoptive families for every waiting child in our state, we know that the body of Christ is critically important to our mission.
Over the past 13 years, since Project Zero was ‘born’, we have seen countless miracles for kids, miracles that were a direct result of prayer. As the number of waiting kids continues to decline, we are more and more aware of the urgency to find families for waiting kids. We would love for the pastors in our state to be a driving force in raising awareness about the need and in inspiring their congregations to act. Because of that fact, we are hosting a NWA Pastors Lunch to hopefully inspire and equip pastors to communicate this need.
