Strong families, resilient communities
We’re igniting the potential of kids, families, and neighbourhoods and making sure help is always close to home through an innovative partnership called For Every Family.
Together with the philanthropic and community sector, Government of Manitoba, and United Way Winnipeg donors, we’re brightening the futures of families in these ways:
More kids ready to learn
More families staying together
More families becoming self-sufficient
How are we helping even more families?
Ensuring access
Better services
More collaboration
“Previously, we operated largely in silos. Now with the network, it is much easier to plan and share, which benefits all our communities.”
– FRC Executive Director
What are family resource centres?
They’re our community’s living room, where ordinary magic happens every day.
Nestled in neighbourhoods across our city, family resource centres are welcoming places of safety and support where families can meet basic needs, find belonging, and get started on the path to better lives.
It’s where a refugee family can find community and healing. A single parent can sink into a cozy sofa and work on their resume while their kids make crafts. An unsheltered Winnipegger can eat a warm meal, do laundry, and get help finding housing.
Government of Manitoba Partnership
The Government of Manitoba recognizes the impact of family resource centres in our community.
$7.5M in donations raised by vision philanthropists were matched by the Government of Manitoba from 2016-2022. The Government of Manitoba generously agreed to continue to support the initiative, matching donor gifts up to $4.5M over three years ending March 31, 2025. $6M over three years ending March 31, 2028, with a particular focus on keeping families together.
Most recently, the Government of Manitoba has increased their support to $6M over three years ending March 31, 2028, with a particular focus on keeping families together.
A network of care and compassion

Be a lifeline for Winnipeg families
When families don’t have to live in survival mode, something powerful happens. They can make positive choices. They lean into their potential. They build better futures.
Then, the goodness spreads—into neighbourhoods and across our community. When we invest in families, we all win.
