Fundraising dollars play a very important part in providing high quality services and programs.

 

"Children Are Our FUTURE"

The Family Resource Center was formed in 1981 and incorporated in 1982 as a non-profit organization which exists to provide education, motivation, hope and care for families. The Executive Director is under the direction of the Board of Directors who meet on a monthly basis. We receive most of our funding for our programs through Federal, State, Local and Private grants. All of our programs have one goal and that is to keep children safe.
 

In order to qualify for grants to fund our programs, we must be able to show matching funds through donations of time, talent and treasure. This provides granting foundations & government agencies with proof that our agency has local support.

Please help our efforts to keep children SAFE! It is easy to help.
