Family Resource Center
What is a FRC?
Welcome to Main Street Family Services! The Family Resource Center (FRC) is here to support your family. When families struggle to access basic things the whole family suffers, including children. Main Street desires to create a future where Every Family Flourishes and every child experiences a safe, loving, and nurturing home.
At the Family Resource Center, we provide a safe place where your family can connect with both services and support. Our programs are tailored to reflect the needs of the families in our community. We aim to be a one-stop shop, where your family can find help navigating how to access the support and services you need – right here, all under one roof.
Our goal is to help create stability for your family by helping you connect with community resources like schools, other local non-profit services, our community partners, government agencies, and faith communities. We want to help you, our neighbor, meet your needs and provide skills and resources so you can be at peace that you have what you need for your family.
Together with you we will build a stronger, healthier, and connected community where Every Family Flourishes!

5 Protective Factors
At Main Street Family Services, we believe in the power of families and the potential of every child. Our approach is based on the Strengthening Families framework, which focuses on five Protective Factors that are key to family stability and child well-being:
- Parental Resilience: We support parents in building their capacity to cope with life’s ups and downs, helping them bounce back from challenges and grow stronger.
- Social Connections: We foster a network of positive relationships for families, providing emotional support and practical help from friends, family, and neighbors.
- Concrete Support in Times of Need: We ensure families have access to basic necessities like food and housing and services like healthcare and counseling during times of stress.
- Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development: We provide parents with information and resources about how children grow and learn, helping them to respond effectively to their child’s changing needs.
- Healthy Social and Emotional Development in Young Children: We promote nurturing relationships between parents and children, which are crucial for a child’s emotional well-being and overall development.
Resilience grows not from the absence of struggle, but from the presence of support.
