PROTECTING THE ONE YOU LOVE THE MOST

ABOUT US

Faith and Family Resource Center Action programs help individuals and families understand and effectively manage their finances.

The unpredictable nature of life can wreak havoc on those without access to unlimited resources: disease, job loss, and a variety of other changes can occur without warning and cause financial strain, and families are not always able to navigate such unexpected hits to their savings without assistance.

To help families understand their own fiscal reality and to manage it in the face of life’s uncertainties, FFRC offers education, financial guidance, and support, as well as advocating for clients to have access to any services they may need but be unable to afford.

MISSION

Mission to be a kingdom minded transformational presence that maximizes the quality of life and technological access in aging and disabled communities.

VISION

As a mission-driven faith-based organization we seek to partner with community advocates and governmental agencies to provide resources that improve and promote financial literacy and technological awareness and advancement to aging and disabled populations.

The Aging and Disability Resource center is a one-stop shop for community resources and services for older or disabled individuals.

The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC)can help with decisions big and small for older and disabled individuals in need of assistance.

You may be a caregiver seeking advice on what to do when a loved one is no longer able to live alone without assistance; an older adult simply seeking some ideas of where you might go for socialization; or a young person with a physical disability finding it hard to manage your life without additional assistance. Whatever your circumstance, the ADRC has the information and resources to help you make the best choices for you and your well-being. The ADRC can screen you for a variety of local, state, or national programs and services; listen to and understand the complexities of your situation; and offer valid referrals and informative counsel to support you in your decisions.
