Family Resource Centers
Family Resource Centers help children, families and communities thrive. We provide the help and resources you need. Each resource center has unique services. We design each center to meet the needs of the community around it. In June, we referred families to more than 85,000 community resources. We also offered dozens of classes, support, community events and meetings.

As a parent, building a sense of belonging and community may not always feel straightforward. Maybe you're new to the area or you live in a remote place. Perhaps juggling work, life and, other circumstances make creating those connections a real challenge.
Throughout any stage of life, it's normal for parents and caregivers to feel a little disconnected, and unsure where—or how—to nurture their community. Learn why belonging to a community matters (Español).

 Hot temperatures and wildfire smoke have made their way to Pierce County. Heat- and smoke-related danger is especially high for people 65 and older, people under 18, people living homeless, and people living with mental illness or chronic disease. Keep yourself and your family safe!
- Drink plenty of water.
- Check air quality before you’re active outside.
- Limit time outdoors on poor air quality days.
- Use caution if boating or swimming.
- Check on your elderly neighbors.
- Never leave kids or pets in parked cars.
