The Children & Family Resource Center (CFRC) is a 501c3 non-profit organization located in Henderson County, NC.
CFRC was created in November, 1998 as a result of a Children’s Initiative of the Community Foundation of Henderson County. This initiative addressed the barriers that were preventing or impeding families from accessing local services. A high priority was given to consolidating services, promoting communication and collaboration, and simplifying access to family services. CFRC merged three separate non-profit agencies, adopted the ‘best practices’ of those agencies, and began operation in April 1999 as a stronger, more efficient agency.
Today, CFRC offers 16 programs that address various aspects of early childhood development, quality child care, parenting education and support, and the strengthening of protective factors for families. In addition to our programs, CFRC also serves as a referral center for clients who are in need of services in our community.
