Family Resource Program

The Family Resource Program primarily serves the communities of Prospect Heights and Wheeling and services are offered in English and Spanish. While providing services that address basic immediate needs, the focus is to promote self-sufficiency and increase participation in the community.  All of our programs are designed to give parents and youth the skills they need to build healthy and successful families.
