ABOUT FAMILY DEVELOPMENT CENTERS

The Family Development Centers, located in the heart of their communities, is where you will find:

  • A base where positive action is taken against the root causes of poverty;
  • Community resources are mobilized;
  • The problems and needs of residents are routinely updated through needs survey assessments and community meetings.


The prime goals of the Family Development Centers in their early years were to develop or enable indigenous leadership in the target community to which it was addressing its attention. This was to be done by a variety of means, including participation on local Boards and Committee, direct employment in community development aspect of the agency, or creation of widening clientele for manpower or other community needs via Job Training, Education, and the like

FOOD PANTRY

Our local Food Pantries go beyond simply distributing food;  they are a cornerstone for community support and nutritional education.  Access to nutritious food is a right, not a privilege. Our local Food Pantries are committed to ensuring no one in our community goes hungry. Offering a variety of healthy food options, we support the well-being of individuals and families facing food insecurity. By addressing hunger in our community, we’re not just feeding bodies; we’re nourishing minds and spirits, and building a foundation for healthier lives.
