Our two family resource centers strengthen families and the communities that surround them. The centers provide an environment that helps families become safe and stable. They work with community leaders to build healthy and strong communities.
Children get help with their homework and enjoy the company of their peers in our afterschool activities. Families learn about available services designed to help them reach self-sufficiency such as the Food Stamp Outreach and Healthy Families program. The centers also host arts and crafts, recreation, exercise, and daily lunches for senior citizens.

Community Builders Initiative Project
The Community Builders Initiative project (CBIP) funded through California Endowment is aimed to work with residents to improve the health of their community by focusing on nutrition and increased physical activity in their neighborhoods.
Community Action Partnership of Orange County (CAPOC), through the Families First Collaborative (FFC) will work with (3-5) Parent Representatives to identify the built environment (all aspects of our surroundings that are constructed by people: buildings, roads, parks, etc) issues that affect the surrounding neighborhoods of five elementary schools: Rio Vista, Ruby Drive and Topaz.
For the next three years, Parent Representatives will receive education on: nutrition, build environment, community empowerment, leadership development, and much more. With the training and education mentioned, Parent Represenatives will assume leadership roles to help change the built environment to improve nutrition and increase physical activity.
