Family Resource Centers

About Family Resource Centers

Individuals and families in need often have to call or visit multiple agencies to get the help they need. Finding the right help is time consuming, frustrating, and often confusing.

Family resources centers solve this problem. In one place, clients can find the services and expert advice to navigate a short-term crisis and find long-term support to enrich their lives.

Catholic Charities has operated family resource centers for more than 20 years. Our flagship family resource center is Catholic Charities at C. E. McGruder in North Nashville. We also have the Catholic Charities Family Resource Center at Casa Azafrán in South Nashville.

Catholic Charities at C. E. McGruder serves all of North Nashville from a central location on 25th Avenue.

In this one location, North Nashville residents find help with the many services that Catholic Charities offers as well as those from community partners.

• Job training

Many of the staff who work at McGruder are North Nashville residents and leaders in the community.
