Family Resource Center opens in Pinedale
by Sublette BOCES
August 1, 2024
PINEDALE, WYOMING – Sublette BOCES is the home of the Sublette County Family Resource Center, made possible by a grant from the Wyoming Children’s Trust Fund. The Center, located in the Sublette BOCES building at 665 N. Tyler Avenue in Pinedale, aims to strengthen Sublette County families and individuals while building a strong community. The Center provides a range of services, resources and referrals, activities, and classes all in one place.
The Sublette County Family Resource Center is part of the larger Wyoming Family Resource Centers Collective, a collaborative statewide network that has been formed to help establish Family Resource Centers or strengthen existing Centers across the state. The Collective is connecting organizations with grant funding and providing grantees with technical assistance and best practices for establishing a Family Resource Center in their community.
With the help of Jennifer Zook, Early Childhood Program Coordinator for The Align Team, Sublette BOCES became aware of the grant that led to the formation of the Sublette County Family Resource Center. After the grant was awarded earlier this year, the first Grant Coordinator, Tillie Dibben, was assigned to get the Center established. Once up and running, Tillie trained the new Grant Coordinator, Stephanie Hunter, to continue the work she began. Stephanie is new to Pinedale, but has roots in town. She is looking forward to becoming a recognizable, trusted member of the Sublette County community.
The Center is open four days a week to serve local families. The operating hours are Monday through Thursday from 7am to 12pm. Appointments during non-operating hours are available upon request.
