Support for The Family Place comes in many different forms. Individuals, businesses and institutions such as foundations, churches, and the State Division of Social Services help to provide the financial means for our daily operations. In addition, friends of The Family Place often make in-kind contributions of goods, services and space. And our volunteers are the backbone of all we do. Many people in the community volunteer their time and talents to The Family Place. This includes both private individuals and professionals.
