Stettler’s McMan Family Resource Network offers variety of family supports The generosity of Stettler is allowing the McMan Family Resource Network (FRN) to bring forward a returning program in October. With costs – of everything – rising, the McMan Family Resource Network will be holding its fall clothing swap on Oct. 19. The centre is currently accepting gently used clothing for kids of all ages, and those in need will be able to stop by the resource centre office located on 51 Street. “This saves families from always having to buy new,” said Lisa Tait, the coordinator the Stettler FRN.
The Stettler Food Rescue Network (FRN) is a non-profit organization that collects and distributes food to those in need. The FRN is a vital part of the community, providing a safety net for those struggling with food insecurity. The FRN’s cooking programs are designed to empower individuals and families to cook healthy and affordable meals.
“We have to be flexible and responsive to those needs.”
This flexibility and responsiveness is evident in the FRN’s approach to providing support. The program offers a range of services, including financial assistance, housing support, and mental health services. These services are tailored to the specific needs of each family, with a focus on addressing the root causes of poverty.
This program offers a comprehensive approach to supporting families, addressing their diverse needs and challenges. Here are some of the key aspects of the program:
**1. Supporting Child Development:**
* **Early language development:** The program helps children develop crucial language skills, including vocabulary, grammar, and communication. It provides targeted support for children who may be experiencing delays or difficulties in their language development.
