Have you ever wished there was a “one-stop shop” for children and families? There is!

The Children’s Network coordinates a network of Family Resource Centers (FRCs) in every city in the county. The FRCs help families find local resources and provide referrals for social services and job training. There’s one near you!

The Family Resource Centers (FRCs) provide information and referral services to families with children in Solano County. FRCs assist families in identifying and accessing community resources to meet their needs, including parenting, family recreation, job search, transportation, child care, basic needs, etc. FRCs also offer parenting and resource libraries, parenting classes, computer and internet access for job search and resume writing, and much more. Contact your local FRC for more information.
