HFRC is built around families, and sustained by people and organizations who want children and caregivers to have a place that feels welcoming, useful, and easy to return to.

Visible local impact

Your support helps local families access free programs, play spaces, and seasonal resources close to home.

A trusted community space

Families use HFRC for open play, enrichment, connection, and practical support throughout the year.

A partnership with purpose

Sponsorship connects your business or organization with a nonprofit that families know, use, and value.

Every gift and sponsorship helps protect the everyday experience families count on at HFRC.

  • Free access to play-and-learn programs
  • Welcoming spaces across two locations
  • Seasonal support like Summer Lunch & Play
  • Hands-on materials for enrichment and discovery
  • Family connection, referrals, and community resources

Published reports show how families are using HFRC and how community support turns into real experiences, practical help, and trusted spaces. HFRC’s live reporting highlights two locations, free access, open play participation, summer meals, and partner-supported family resources.

We are grateful for the businesses, foundations, and organizations that help keep HFRC strong, welcoming, and free for families.
