    Our families continue to need support for economic security, family well-being, education and access to healthy living. 

    Below you will find many valuable resources that are available to our families in Washoe County.  

    Family Resource Center:

    A Family Resource Center is a safe and friendly place to go for many different types of resources when families need help. We serve anyone who lives in the surrounding community. There are no income qualifications to use the Family Resource Center, although some referrals to other services may be limited according to income guidelines. Teens, parents, single adults, and seniors may call the Family Resource Center for information and referrals to resources in the community which may be able to help meet basic needs or provide other forms of assistance. Staff is available to assist families with identifying needs and to help them locate the resources to potentially meet those needs.   WCSD Family Resource Centers Overview (washoeschools.net)
