MAKE IT MEMORABLE WITH US AT OUR

pearl paradise: Wine & Cheese Fundraiser

Did you know we are celebrating our 30th Anniversary this year? On August 18, 1994, the name Family Centre became official by merging Parent’s Place and Family & Community Development. For over 30 years, we’ve been making a difference in the lives of families across generations. 

We invite you to celebrate this amazing milestone with us on November 7, 2024 at our 3rd Annual Wine & Cheese Fundraiser, taking place this year at the Sandman Signature Lethbridge Lodge.

About Us

FAMILY CENTRE

Family Centre, based in Lethbridge, is a non-profit organization providing a comprehensive range of services to children, youth and families in Southwestern Alberta. We are the hub for Lethbridge’s Family Resource Network.   With 5 community agencies and  3 locations to serve the community, our Mission is to empower children and families through programs, resources and connections. The vision that we are always seeking to achieve is, Healthy Children! Healthy Families! Healthy Communities!

why prevention & early intervention?

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are negative, stressful, traumatizing events that occur before age 18. The long-term impacts of ACEs are well studied and can produce many negative outcomes for individuals into adolescence and adulthood without the tools and support to cope. This is why prevention and early intervention is paramount to Family Centre’s work in the community. Empowering families with support, education and resources builds lifelong protective factors that prevent risk factors from developing. Additionally, identifying and addressing risk factors and vulnerabilities in families early on reduces the need for more intensive intervention later.

FEATURED Donor Profiles

Tim Hortons Lethbridge

“Although we are 4 separate local owner groups, we represent the Tim Hortons brand with complete dedication to our community: united. We learned of Family Centre through the Executive Director, Maral, and she was very passionate and thorough in educating us on what programs Family Centre offers. This was a perfect match as it aligns with children and families in need of support, similar to our core values of the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. We collectively felt that the 100% proceeds of our Smile Cookie program would directly affect some local families, and help Family Centre achieve their goals and objectives. ”

Dr. Mishka Singh

“I was having some difficulty breastfeeding with my daughter, Ceeta and my husband, Grant and I thought that it would be great to have more resources in the community to help moms and moms-to-be with feeding their little ones. We collaborated with Family Centre in Lethbridge and created a program regarding lactation, formula feeding and solid feeding called Babes and the Milky Way. We started donating in 2022 and hope that this is program is successful and we continue doing so.”

Steve Melling, M.E.F. Services Ltd.

“When I became aware of the numerous and valuable services/supports Family Centre provides, we wanted to assist. Knowing our support goes to such a vital organization for the community and families is money well spent.”
