PROGRAMS

We seek to support, empower, and provide high-quality resources to our community in a safe and secure environment. Learn more about what we do below.

BUILDING FUNCTIONAL FAMILIES (B.F.F.) PROGRAM

The B.F.F. program provides caregivers essential needs for raising young children. One aspect of this program includes open office hours where families are encouraged to come to our office and pick up essentials free of charge. To offer support for long term success, we also offer assistance to families who need to complete applications for programs including SNAP, WIC, and Section 8. This program also partners with other local agencies and non-profits to build a supportive network for expecting and postpartum parents. Car seat safety classes, community baby showers, and annual community events, are all part of the mission to provide safe and joyful experiences for families.

Community Resilience Initiative

The Community Resilience Initiative is a program that focuses on supporting parents and caregivers, by focusing on ways to promote self-care and prevent adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). This is done by recognizing that families living in poverty are disproportionately exposed to chronic stress, violence, and instability. The Initiative provides a multipronged approach to preventing cycles of violence by providing Community Resilience Workshops, which are led by mental health professionals, a Resilience Fund, which pays for therapy for families in crisis, and Creative Connections, an after-school art therapy program for children ages 6-12.
