About the Center
The Quincy Family Resource Center (QFRC) helps families to access and navigate resources in their local community.
The QFRC provides on-site and virtual programs, services and activities to benefit families. We work with caregivers, youth of all ages, extended family members, and any member of the community seeking support.
We work in close partnership with mental health providers, medical providers, schools, the juvenile court system, town and city governments, civic and religious organizations and DCF among other state agencies.
All services at the QFRC are free of charge and insurance is not needed.
