The proceeds from the event will support NFRC’s sliding fee therapy programs. NFRC has provided more than $90,000 in free counseling services to families in the community in recent years thanks to community supporters.
NFRC would like to welcome those interested in volunteering for our 5 For Families event to email us at ask@nfrchelp.com. You can also support NFRC by joining our Facebook Event Page and inviting anyone who may be interested.
“NFRC has made vital strides in not only helping families in transition, but in helping to create the model for co-parenting through separation and divorce across the country. This event, which will help so many receive much needed counseling services, could not be successful without the myriad of volunteers, staff and sponsors that contribute their time and resources,” said Risa Garon, Executive Director and co-founder of the National Family Resiliency Center.
