Pine River - Backus Family Center

It is our goal to provide local children and their families the support they need to function as strong, healthy family units. We offer a variety of services, programs, and opportunities for families. The Family Center:

  • Administers family support funding that can assist with basic needs if all other resources have been exhausted.
  • Connects families with resources both community and county-wide.
  • Has a wonderful lending library.
