Family Resource Center
 
 
 
Family Resource Center partners to connect people and organizations who bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to empower youth and families for success. The VISTA will work within Logan Knowledge is Power to develop a formal network of Logan County agencies working in the areas of education, income, and health, as well as develop programs and events that provide parents and youth access to community resources including food, housing, medical and financial resources.
