The Altona and Area Family Resource Centre offers support to all families in Altona and the surrounding areas. Those involved in the most important task of all, raising the next generation, are welcome to participate in our free programs. 

  

Our list of programming includes topics such as literacy, nutrition, parenting, and empowering families.  Free snacks and free crafts are offered at our groups and there is always time to visit with other parents and discuss topics of interest. 

Belief Statement

  

We believe that families are valuable and that the health of families affects the health of the community.  We also believe that the well-being of every family can be enhanced if parents and caregivers are given support, encouragement and education.  For this reason, we are committed to assisting and supporting all families in the area of Rhineland, regardless of structure or financial resources.

"People that say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one.
