A young Jonesboro resident is proving that big hearts come in small packages. A 10-year-old girl organized a car show that raised more than $1,300 to benefit unhoused youth in the community, according to Jonesboro Right Now.
The event, reported on Sunday, June 21, 2026, stands as a remarkable example of youth-led community service. Rather than waiting for someone else to act, this fifth-grader took the initiative to plan and host the fundraiser herself, drawing car enthusiasts and community supporters together for a cause close to her heart.
The funds raised — more than $1,300 — will go toward helping young people in the Jonesboro area who are experiencing homelessness, shining a light on a need that often goes unnoticed.
Stories like this one serve as a reminder that community spirit in Jonesboro runs deep, and that the next generation of local leaders is already hard at work making a difference. Hats off to this young organizer for her compassion, creativity, and drive.
