Welcome!

Learning can be difficult when students’ basic needs are not met. The goal of Family-Community Resource Centers is to help all children succeed. We do that by removing barriers and connecting families with available community resources.

Help can come in many forms:

  • Student homework help
  • School supplies
  • Health services and dental care
  • Clothing
  • Food
  • Emergency housing
  • Job assistance
  • Early childhood education
  • Assistance with GED preparation
  • Internet connection
  • And many more

Call us today at 360-313-3322 or stop by our center. We are here to help!

It is recommended that students carry their student ID cards with them, just in case. However, it is not required.
For students 9 and younger, they need to be accompanied by an adult.
