School Supplies

Getting your student outfitted for school can be expensive. If your budget is too tight to provide everything needed, you’re not alone! At the Family Resource Center, we have a wide variety of school supplies, backpacks, clothing, and more for income-eligible families to choose from. Drop in or make an appointment to see what’s available.

Families in Transition

Are you struggling to find permanent housing due to financial difficulties? The Families in Transition program can help your child maintain school stability and connect your family to resources. If you are a family with children in school and you don’t have permanent housing, we can help. If you’re dealing with any of the following situations, your family is eligible for emergency assistance:

• Staying with friends or family due to financial hardship

• A teen living on your own

• At risk of losing your home

• Living without plumbing or electricity

• Living in a hotel, motel, vehicle or campground

• Moving from one place to another to have somewhere to sleep at night

• Living in a shelter

• Living on the street

If any of these living situations apply to you, please contact Family Support Specialist Mary Michell by visiting the Family Resource Center, calling 360-221-6808 ext. 4320, or by email at mmichell@readinesstolearn.org.
