Family Resource Centers
Family
Resource Centers help children, families and communities thrive. We provide the help and resources you need. Each resource center has unique services. We design each center to meet the needs of the community around it. In August,
we referred families to nearly 350,000 community resources. We also offered dozens of classes, support, community events and meetings.

Free immunizations protect your child from dangerous diseases.

 It's
back-to-school season. And THAT means it’s a great time to make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccines. Immunizations are free in Washington and protect your children from dangerous diseases. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many young kids fell behind
on their regular vaccinations. Take a moment to make sure your kids are protected! It’s as simple as
check, locate, go.
