Barrhaven Family Resource Centre

Our Family Resource Centre has been in operation since the spring of 1990. It is open 2 mornings per week for 39 weeks a year. It is open Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at Barrhaven United Church. The program welcomes stay at home moms, dads and caregivers to gather and network with one another. The program is lead by a Drop-In Coordinator and acts as an information and referral for services in the community.

The Resource Center provides workshops on variety of topics throughout the year.

The program is very fortunate to have a strong volunteer commitment. There is a sense of pride of ownership in the program. We have to raise approximately $12,000.00 per year for the operations of the program all done by volunteers. This includes Children’s Used Clothing, Toys and Equipment Sales, See Our Flyer <  Clothing Sale 2011 and Dinner Dances and Other Functions that is both enjoyed by the community.
