What is a Family Resource Center?

A family resource center is a place to go to find out resources in the community that can help you and your family. Resources include educational materials, special needs information, support groups, outreach community groups, information and referrals to agencies, and a place to come to just check out your email. We have computers for anyone to use, internet access, a place to bring your children where you can spend time together. We are here to help people find what they need to take care of their families the best way they can.

If you would like to volunteer time or doante any materials to the Family Resource Center, please call: (828) 479-2348 or (828) 479-9008.
