Meet the Founders.

“Arkansas Family Supports, Inc. (AFS) is committed to providing and continually improving the highest quality of care and service delivery in Waiver Services for members and families served. AFS was created as a tribute and legacy to our sisters, both of whom had intellectual/developmental disabilities and utilized Waiver Services. Through our work and dedication, we honor them. Our commitment to quality in serving members and their families drives our delivery of services.”  

Jeff Lambert and Roy Thompson, Co-Founders
