Whole Village Family Resource Center
Important Update:
Granite United Way and the Whole Village Family Resource Center are committed to the health of our community. Given the recent public health concerns related to the spread of the coronavirus, we will be embracing recommendations related to social distancing.
To that end, we have closed the Whole Village Family Resource Center to both the public and staff until April 16. But we understand connecting you to resources is more important than ever. Give us a call at 603-536-3720!
Whole Village’s purpose is to strengthen families while building a community that supports the healthy development of all children in the community. Our facility serves a dual purpose in the community. First, we are a family resource center offering an array of family support services, some of which are provided directly by the Whole Village team with others offered by our on-campus partners, and many that are integrated and collaboratively offered. Second, the 13,000 sq. ft. Whole Village building provides community accessible meeting and program space to over 100 different groups and organizations each year.
The Exchange at Whole Village, a community learning space located in Plymouth where people connect, interact and learn to inspire growth, family strength and promote community engagement. The Exchange will connect low and moderate income residents of eastern Grafton County with community resources and educational experiences to increase their financial capacity and resilience. The project will convene local agencies to create a “one stop” approach to accessing the community and educational services necessary to move beyond poverty.
