Thanks to the support of our compassionate community, Amara’s Family Resource Center (FRC) in Tacoma has been open and serving families for over a year. One family, who recently arrived in the United States, was having an especially hard time finding resources because they spoke no English. They didn’t have a place to live or know where or how to register their oldest child for school. When a new friend referred them to our FRC, our staff learned about their journey to the U.S. and what the family needed using an app-based Spanish translator. We helped the family find food, stable housing, health insurance, and register their child for school. Our super-helpful FRC staff also helped them find a car and even accompanied them to get a driver’s license. When families have what they need, the chance that they will be mistakenly reported to Child Protective Services is reduced. #resourcecenter #piercecounty #tacoma #helpingfamilies
