The Family Center is a program of the Lutheran Community Services Northwest (LCSNW) and they provide individuals, families and children with access to a variety of programs from Housing Navigator (by Appointment) to Mental Health, Back to School, Veteran Services, Emergency Pantry which include food, toiletries, diapers and wipes to Assistance with DSHS Applications, Assistance with emergency Clothing and household items, Holiday Giving Program which assist families in need during the holidays, to Resources and Support for Assistance with healthcare applications, Resume/Cover letter assistance, job search and utility assistance (with disconnection notice). And, much, much more. Two of our members, Joyce Bell and Terri Spencer helped create the Family Center in Lake Stevens. When Peggy took over the Family Center, it was top event heavy with the two largest being Halloween Night and National Night Out. Although they will continue to be involved in these events, others will assume responsibility for running these events such as the Police and Fire doing National Night Out. The original purpose of National Night Out was supposed to create neighborhood event throughout the community but, it turned into a large community-wide event. This year's theme is Strengthening Lives to Build Community, Strengthen Community to Build Lives.
