City Hall or Centennial Bank...Dollar General & Family Dollar will have donation boxes out in the coming weeks for items, please keep in mind that due to the virus, we will only be able to accept NEW TOYS this year. (NO used items, including clothing/toys will be collected.) Again, thank you for your help with this project & understanding of our necessary changes for 2020!

People for a Better Atkins, or PBA, as it's known, is a non-profit organization made of volunteers who love and care about Atkins, AR!
Around here, when you hear PBA, you may think of one thing........PICKLEFEST! There's no doubt that Picklefest is a HUGE part of what we do, however, there are MANY other aspects of our organization and we encourage you to get involved and help us continue to make Atkins a better place each and every day! Please explore the site and give us your feedback on how we can continue to improve the town we all love so much!
