Everett Public Schools Family Resource Centers

Everett Public Schools has two Family Resource Centers that serve our Region 1 (North) and Region 2 (South) schools by referral only. The FRC's serve as a welcoming space for our students and families to receive support, have some basic needs met and connect to school and community resources. Our limited supply of basic needs items is dependent upon donations, and may include:

• Food Pantry 
• Hygiene Items
• Clothing-Shoes & Coats
• Blankets
• Diapers
• Access to technology
• Referrals to community resources

Most families with children in Everett Public Schools are served at their individual schools. The schools typically refer families to the FRC's that are experiencing homelessness or housing instability and have a need that the FRC is more equipped to meet.

EPS' celebrated the opening of the first Family Resource Center in 2022 (see The Herald article here) and we were able to open the second FRC in the south end of the district in 2024. We have served over 1,000 children and their families since our inception.

More than ever, our families are struggling to find affordable housing. As a school district, we cannot provide housing for our families, but the FRC staff can support as we connect students and caregivers with local resources that may be able to help.
