In the winter of 2020, the West Fresno Family Resource Center introduced a transformative pilot program called Mommy Matters. This initiative aimed to provide vital community resources and free diapers to families in West Fresno and neighboring areas. With an average attendance of five participants per session, this bilingual program not only distributed diapers but also educated families on topics critical to their well-being and community engagement.
Today, the program has evolved into Thriving Families, reflecting its broader vision while staying true to its core mission: empowering families to thrive. Since its launch, Thriving Families has made a profound impact, reaching over 300 families and benefiting approximately 1,000 children. By prioritizing health literacy, health equity, financial resources, and consistent diaper distribution, the program has supplied an estimated 100,000 diapers to residents in Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Selma, and Caruthers.
Through its unwavering commitment to supporting families, Thriving Families continues to be a cornerstone of community care and resilience.
