West Fresno Family Resource Center is Moving Locations!

We are thrilled to announce that starting in January 2024, the West Fresno Family Resource Center will be moving to a new location. Our new address is 700 Van Ness Ave., Suite 201, Fresno, Ca 93721. Our new space will allow us to continue providing exceptional services to the West Fresno community.


While our move will lead us to the downtown area, WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE WEST FRESNO COMMUNITY, and will continue to provide resources, services and events such as: Sweet Potato Project II, MediCal, CalFresh Enrollment, Case Management, Housing Support, Health Education, Senior Wellness, California ID, Weekly Food Distribution, Monthly Senior Food Distribution, Home Visitation, Easter Egg Hunt, Tea in the Garden, Breast Cancer Luncheon, Senior Symposium, Multi-Cultural Celebration, Family Reading Night, Family Matters Support Group, Fatherhood Support, Safe Night Out and the annual Back to School Health Fair


We want to assure our residents that all our services will remain unchanged, and families will continue to receive the same level of care and support they have come to expect from us. The family resource center will continue to have a physical presence in West Fresno. Staff will be at the following locations during these dates and times.
