Jamestown Family Resource Center (JFRC) helps students and families in Jamestown and Tuolumne County.
Community support ensures these essential services continue. Donations of funds and resources help the Jamestown Family Resource Center meet local needs now and into the future.
JFRC’s Stuff the Bus event on Thursday, August 6th at the Walmart Shopping Center was a true success!!!! The Jamestown School District & Jamestown Family Resource Center partnered with Tuolumne County Public Health, Central Sierra Child Support Agency, CHP, Interfaith and Tuolumne Me-Wuk Indian Health Center. The organizations each set-up a table, pop up with information, resources and giveaways for families.
We received $267 and two Walmart gift cards that went towards purchasing school supplies. During the month of August JFRC was able to help support 48 Tuolumne County families and 104 children with new backpacks, school supplies, clothing and food right before the new school year.
The Jamestown Family Resource Center had a table at the Tuolumne County Community Roots Resource Center on Wednesday, September 23rd from 3-6:00 pm. We offered information on wrap around resources for Tuolumne residents such as our quality food pantry and clothing closet.
The Jamestown Family Resource Center also gave out 100 backpacks, school supplies and over 100 pairs of Bombas socks. It was a wonderful event that connected many families to resources offered in the county.
Support the work of JFRC in aiding children in need in Jamestown, and Tuolumne County.
