At Child and Family Resource Network, we like to think of ourselves as your "village" of support. We help to connect pregnant women and parents of children ages 0-5 years old to free family support services.
All services are provided by our compassionate, dependable team members who want to listen, offer knowledgeable advice and help with resources for parenting success. We approach every family without judgment and focus on connecting parents to the right support services that build their confidence in raising healthy, happy kids.

ABOUT CHILD AND FAMILY RESOURCE NETWORK
Child and Family Resource Network is an initiative of Thriving Family Alliance, an organization that coordinates local efforts in West/Southwest Iowa to ensure families and children have the support and opportunities they need to thrive.
Each program meets different needs. We learn about your unique concerns to identify which programs will work best for you, so you don’t have to sort through all of these options on your own.
