FORT SMITH, Ark – Last week, Fort Smith Boys Home received a building permit to begin work on their new recreation center, and they have started laying the foundation and fundraising. The Fort Smith Boys Home is a place for boys who are in the foster system. The goal of the home is to reunite the boys with their parents, but when that is not possible, they find families to adopt them.
