Offering friendship, help, and hope to our neighbors of all ages…

Family Resource Center

Take the Next Step was created to provide a reliable list of available resources for our neighbors in need. In 2005, the Next Step was just one huge three-ring notebook.

This year, Our Family Resource Center will have 1,000 visits!

We chose our name carefully. Though we help meet immediate needs, the heart of our purpose is to form enduring, respectful relationships, and to help our program participants take their own next steps.

We promise you will always be welcome.

Resource Center Open:

Monday - Thursday: 9:30a to 5:00p
Closed between 1:00 - 2:00 PM for lunch

Appointments required - Walk-ins still welcome but will be scheduled for the first available navigation slot
Please call 360.794.1022 to schedule your appointment, or complete our online Contact form→
