Welcome to Child and Family
Resource Network Plus (CFRN Plus)
Empowering Families by Bridging Gaps in Cass County
​
CFRN Plus is a pilot program of Thriving Families Alliance focused on helping Cass County families with young children to connect with available community resources for a variety of support services. We want to help bridge the gap for families between crisis and long-term stability with caring support, understanding, and compassion.
Personalized Support for Families
​
CFRN Plus provides one-on-one guidance from dedicated resource navigators who are here to listen, support, and connect Cass County families with young children to helpful resources. Whether you’re a family with food, employment, housing, or other challenges, we want to help you find the right kind of support for your specific needs.
How Can We Help
Our compassionate resource navigators talk one-on-one with families to learn more about their current challenges. Whether it’s through the CFRN network of family support services, or by reaching out to community partners, we offer helpful connections, including:
Food Assistance – food pantries, meal sites, SNAP, WIC, and seasonal programs
Parent/Family Support and Education – resources and services that help with parenting, education, and family support
Housing and Utilities – finding affordable and temporary housing and utility assistance
And More – we are constantly adding to our community partnerships and extending our areas of service
Clothing and Household Essentials – accessing clothes and various household supplies/needs
Creating Connections for a Stronger Community
Through collaboration among public and private sectors, faith-based communities, and local nonprofits, CFRN Plus works to bridge gaps and offer solutions that extend beyond government assistance to meet both immediate and long-term needs.
​
If you are a local business, church, or community organization interested in partnering with us to strengthen families in need, we’d love to talk! We also welcome conversations and suggestions on how CFRN Plus can help with your efforts. Our partnership is an investment in the strength and resilience of some of our community’s most vulnerable populations — families with children in need.

Let’s Work Together.
