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.
Here are more local activities and organizations of interest to
parents and others raising children:
