The United Way Family Resource Center Network is a collection of resource hubs around the San Antonio area designed by the communities they serve.

Families interested can fill out a Self-Referral Form below or call the Help Me Grow line at 1-866-GROW-210.

Designed with the Community, for the Community

A Family Resource Center (FRC) is a welcoming place where families can find support, connection, and resources—all in one spot.  Each FRC is shaped by the voices of local families, so no two are exactly alike. From the way our spaces are decorated to the services we offer, everything is designed with families, for families.

 

You’ll find a safe, friendly environment where caregivers, kids, and community members can feel seen, supported, and part of something bigger.

 

The United Way Family Resource Center Network is backed by our Parent Advisory Committee, the Protective Factors Framework, and the Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening and Support.

Visiting one of our Family Resource Centers is like walking into a neighbor’s home—warm, welcoming, and full of possibility. Whether you’re looking for support, a place to connect with other families, or a space where your child can play and grow, there’s always a spot for you here.

 

Our centers are more than places to get help—they’re spaces where relationships grow, community is built, and families can simply be—no judgment, no pressure—just real people who care and are here to walk alongside you.

 

Come say hi, join an activity, or spend time in the community. We can’t wait to welcome you.
