Our Mission
Through education, resource networking, and positive relationship building, we form respectful, productive family partnerships that create thriving, empowered individuals who are self-reliant and who envision a hopeful future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
About Us
The La Plata Family Centers Coalition provides direct support to families: utility assistance, on-site food pantry, diapers, formula, children’s clothing closet, community gardens and farm.
These are our neighbors and our friends, and you can help. In addition to helping families in need, we provide education and are a one-stop referral source to programs and other agencies in our community.
The Family Center seeks to build community, reduce family isolation, and strengthen families by linking families together to lend each other the nurturing support once found in extended family networks and small communities.
Your tax-deductible gift will go directly to helping families and our efforts to help make La Plata County a community where families help each other.
Every family is unique and we believe that success and growth come from encouragement and praise. Our family advocates focus on building every family’s self esteem and confidence through positive feedback and rewards. We nurture their natural strengths.

Every day the Family Center works to connect families and individuals to the resources and supports they need. Your support makes it all possible.
