We can all learn new skills toward improving our circumstances and learning to function well even when faced with challenges. By assisting parents to identify, find and receive concrete support in times of need, we help to ensure they and their family receive the necessities everyone deserves in order to grow.
Basic Needs Support
We partner with the non-profit community, churches, temples, foundations, and other caring individuals to create a true safety net for families needing help to access tangible items such as food, clothing, diapers and other household goods as they are available.
Budgeting
We offer budgeting workshops that help parents learn how to build a budget, set goals, live within their means, and save money for their dreams!
Farm and Food Program
Our Farm & Food Program provides access to healthy, fresh, local food for FNC families and our community partners working to reduce food insecurity. FNC classes, families, and local schools visit our farm to connect with how their food is grown, and prepare a meal to share together. With produce grown at our farm sites, we provide staple groceries for our families and stock our walk-in pantries at FNC and Oasis Center.
GED for Parents
We offer high-quality, supportive GED classes for parents and caregivers who want to pursue or continue their own education by working toward a general educational development certificate (GED).
In-Home Safety and Reunification Services (ISRS)
Participation in short-term, intensive home visitation services through our ISRS program requires a referral by Child Welfare. ISRS providers develop receptive, responsive and respectful relationships with referred families, building on the unique strengths of parents and caregivers so that parents and caregivers, the Family Nurturing Center ISRS provider, and the Child Welfare caseworker can work together to ensure child safety.

Long-Term Housing Program
The Long-Term Housing Program combines affordable housing assistance with support services to address the needs of unhoused families raising young children. Services are designed to build independent living skills, tenancy skills, and connect people with community-based health care, treatment, and employment while helping them to find a home they can call their own.
Respite Childcare Program
Respite care offers parents and caregivers a chance to take a little time for themselves while their children play with other children, and are cared for by warm, caring professional staff in small groups. Families reserve time in the Respite Childcare Program.
