Our Why

At Connections, our hearts beat for our community, and our mission is to ensure all families, youth and children are safe, healthy and nurtured, and have equitable access to resources and opportunities to thrive in their communities.

As a Family Resource Center run by locals, our goal isn’t just to offer help—it’s to create a warm, welcoming space where safety, health, and love form the foundation of everything we do. We’re here to be a comforting presence, a source of support, and a guiding light for all.

Together, we’re more than an organization; we’re a close-knit family, bonded by the belief that everyone deserves equal opportunities and access to the support they need, no matter what. Join us on this journey toward brighter tomorrows for all families in our community.

What We Do

Mobile Events

Connections Family Resource Center operates a mobile RV, a vibrant symbol of our commitment to bringing essential services and events directly into communities and neighborhoods.

This mobile unit serves as a dynamic hub of activity, allowing us to reach individuals and families where they are, eliminating barriers to access and fostering a sense of inclusivity. Additionally, we collaborate closely with community partners and resources, leveraging their expertise and support to enhance the impact of our mobile initiatives.

By harnessing the power of mobility, we ensure that vital resources and opportunities are readily available to all, regardless of location or circumstance.

Advocacy

At Connections FRC, advocacy is our cornerstone. We actively engage with lawmakers and community leaders to improve the well-being, safety, and resources for families and children. Through our efforts, we aim to create a brighter, more equitable future for all.

At Connections FRC, we’re dedicated to community support. We collaborate with nonprofits and businesses to maximize our impact, promote events, and bring resources directly to people. By fostering partnerships and accessibility, we aim to create a stronger, more inclusive community.

We are sponsored by Gainesville-Haymarket Rotary Club , Rotary Club of Manassas and Bull Run Rotary Club of Manassas. Connections FRC is grateful to be funded by Families Forward Virginia.
