SWAG Family Resource Center Services

In 2010, the Board of County Commissioners, Partnership for Strong Families, SWAG, and dozens of local businesses began working together and joined forces (both financial and manpower) to create a brick-and-mortar community center. As a result, the county purchased a building in the center of the SWAG neighborhoods. Through the hard work and generous contributions of both the public and private sectors, the renovated building became the SWAG Family Resource Center. Then, in June of 2012, the Resource Center opened its doors. Soon thereafter, a playground opened on an adjacent lot.

The Center functions as a three-way partnership. Specifically, the county owns it, Partnership for Strong Families operates it, and SWAG supports and advises it. As a result of this partnership, the Center offers computers and internet access, printing & copying, faxing, books, games and toys for children, and referrals for services. For example, the Resource Center has offered the following programs:

  • After-school tutoring programs
  • Summer programs for kids
  • Food pantry
  • Health and exercise programs
  • Free notary services
  • Counseling services
  • Parenting supports
  • Regular Bookmobile visits
  • Clothing closet
  • Codes enforcement information
  • Monthly Community Dinners
  • Social services
  • And much, much more!
