About the Family Center

Family Center Services

The Family Center serves thousands of low-income households each year through a broad range of programs. Using a strength-based case management approach, Family Center staff recognize the uniqueness of each family, offering assistance, information about available resources, and referrals to other community agencies. Services include food and nutrition assistance, educational programming, tax preparation, housing/utility assistance, and holiday programs.

Business hours are 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM; we close in recognition of most major holidays.  Food Pantry hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 1:00  PM – 4:00 PM.
