South Nashville Family Resource Center

What does the South Nashville FRC do?

The South Nashville Family Resource Center serves the Glencliff, Radnor, and Woodbine neighborhoods to build a sense of community and belonging among all the people living in the neighborhood. The Vanderbilt Center for Health Services serves as the lead agency for the South Nashville Family Resource Center.

The FRC tries to include residents from different ethnic backgrounds by handing out information in a variety of languages, including different ethnic groups in planning events, and supporting events sponsored by other groups. 

The South Nashville Family Resource Center partners include: 

FRC Leadership

The Family Resource Center is led by a group of neighborhood residents called the Advisory Council. They have identified that the priority for the FRC is to ensure that:

1. Families and Children Are Healthy

                 The Council meets once a month to plan activities, track progress, etc. Representatives from Woodbine, Glencliff, and Radnor neighborhoods have participated in meetings and planning events for the FRC, as have Councilwoman Anna Page and State Representative Janis Sontany.

Location

By locating services close to home, Family Resource Centers make help more accessible. By offering a coordinated and holistic approach to providing services and support, Family Resource Centers eliminate duplication of effort on the part of residents and service providers. By focusing on the strengths and assets of the people who live, work, and go to school in the neighborhood, Family Resource Centers help build community.

Volunteers helped beautify the FRC area by weeding, mowing, and planting flowers.
