“In the heart of Cobb County, an organization has been quietly transforming lives for over six decades. The Center for Family Resources (The CFR) stands as a testament to the power of community and the impact of compassionate action. Founded in 1960, The CFR has evolved from a coalition of six emergency assistance organizations into a comprehensive support system for families facing homelessness and poverty.
Today, The CFR’s mission has crystallized around reducing childhood homelessness. Their approach is holistic, offering services that span prevention, crisis intervention, housing support, education, and compassionate care management. At the core of their work is a belief in empowerment—helping families find hope by taking an active role in shaping their futures.
One of The CFR’s most impactful initiatives is the Thanks for Giving program, which has been running for over 38 years. This program embodies the organization’s commitment to preserving dignity and family traditions. Instead of relying on food kitchens, families receive food boxes that allow them to prepare their own Thanksgiving meals at home. Over time, the program has expanded to provide additional staples, ensuring families have enough food throughout the week-long school break.”
