Heights Family Resource Center
The Heights Family Resource Center is more than a place where families can stop in to pick up needed household items, toiletries, shoes, clothing or school supplies. It is also a central location for learning and connecting.
The HFRC, which opened in 2024 and is located in the Delisle Options Center, serves as a central hub for connecting CH-UH families to essential resources and support. Along with offering workshops, information, and education that build capacity and connect the community, the HFRC is available to help families with the following:
- Shelf-stable food items
- Hygiene and household essentials
- Clothing
- School supplies
- Connection to local resources (e.g. legal, financial, food, housing)
The Center’s work is guided by the Five Protective Factors of the Strengthening Families Approach: parental resilience, social connections, concrete support in times of need, knowledge of parenting and child development, and social and emotional competence of children.
