Casey Family Services recognizes the critical importance of community networks in providing all the services and supports families need to grow stronger and better able to ensure the healthy development of their children. Since 1999, Casey has expanded its work in helping to build and enhance those networks through community-based family resource centers in Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

In its New Hampshire Division, Casey Family Services, in collaboration with the Franklin/Hill School District, operates three family resource centers to serve working families with children in grades kindergarten through 12.

Family resource centers at Franklin High School, Franklin Middle School, and at the Paul Smith Elementary School serve children and working families in a variety of ways. The centers provide homework assistance, parenting support, and structured clubs and activities that are designed to keep kids safe and inspire learning in a setting that is affordable and supportive. Services for children include an after-school program for grades kindergarten through eight, a before-school program at the elementary level, and a summer program when school is not in session.

In addition, Casey Family Services provides help for families to increase their economic success. This help includes financial information, counseling as appropriate, and referrals to resources for needs including budgeting, first-time home-ownership, transportation, and financial goal setting. Casey also leads the Franklin Asset Building Coalition, which provides free income tax return preparation and linkage to services that help families save and grow their money.
