Family Resource Centers work with families to assess their strengths and needs and to connect them to relevant, helpful resources provided by their FRC and its partners.  FRCs offer help with registering for CalFresh, MediCal, and utility subsidies; food and diaper banks; parenting and healthy relationship classes; child development screening, language translation; information about immigration; and more.  FRCs do far more than providing services.  Staff build relationships with families and give them opportunities to engage in their communities.
