Welcome to the Tigard-Tualatin Family Resource Center.

Together, we build on individual and community strengths to assist families in becoming more self-sufficient and to increase successful family relationships to the school district and community.

“The Family Resource Center is viewed as a model for assuring families feel comfortable seeking the kinds of information, resources and support services that all citizens need at various times. It provides service by acting as a connection point for families seeking information, referrals, and on-site social services. It supports families that struggle everyday to provide for basic needs such as food, clothing, dental, medical and mental health needs.”

-Washington County Commission on Children & Families
