The Family Resource Center (FRC) is a “one-stop shop” for information, resources, and services related to the support and preservation of families. FRC is a community multi-service center that has been serving the children, teens, and families of Asbury Park since 1997.

The FRC designs services and programs to address the needs of the economically disadvantaged and vulnerable children and families in Asbury Park. The FRC collaborates with other social-services agencies, organizations, and local churches in providing community events and services.
