The Family, Adolescent and Child Community Engagement Service (FACCES) is a 501(c)3 non-profit with a holistic approach to family engagement. Our five program pillars are Food, Physical Health, Mental Wellness, Education, and Legacy Development.
Embracing the philosophy that well-being leads to well-doing, FACCES focuses on building strong foundations to facilitate positive outcomes for children, families, and the community. We achieve this by meeting people where they are and inspiring shifts in perspective, practices, and possibility. That’s the FACCES way!
At FACCES, we know that no single factor determines whether a child or family thrives. True wellness comes from addressing the whole picture. That’s why our model is holistic by design, rooted in five interconnected pillars:
When families receive comprehensive support, children are healthier, more confident, and better prepared to thrive. FACCES stands apart as a community hub that connects, equips, and empowers, proving that when the children are well, we as a whole are well.
At FACCES, we’re proud to be powered by a community of compassionate, hard-working people who make a difference every day. From our dedicated board members to our frontline team and volunteers, each person plays a vital role in advancing our mission of community wellness and connection.

FACCES recognizes that families come from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and races. FACCES supports the Diversity and Equity Inclusion policy to respect, value, and celebrate the unique attributes, characteristics, and perspectives that make each person who they are. We also believe that bringing diverse individuals together allows us to collectively and more effectively address the issues that face our communities.
Join us in building stronger families and more vibrant communities today!
All of the programming we present at FACCES focuses on at least one of our five pillars: Food, Physical Health, Mental Wellness, Education, and Legacy Development. From family gatherings and parenting classes to mental health initiatives and free community markets, we’re laser-focused on helping families in the community make the best choices and prepare themselves and their children for the future.
