Whatcom Family & Community Network
Strengthening Families, Building Community
Our Purpose
The purpose of the Whatcom Family & Community Network is to assure all Whatcom County families and children are safe, healthy, and thriving.
Our Focus
WFCN focuses on community organizing at both the neighborhood and county-wide level. We bring together residents and key leaders to solve problems and build on existing community strengths, using the principles of asset-based community development and family support.
We believe healthy and well-connected communities are necessary to support healthy families and healthy families are the foundation of a healthy community.
The Whatcom Family & Community Network strives through its partnerships to engage the broad diversity of children, youth, and families in improving their community.
"...because we care about ALL of our children."
