Overview
Mission
The center is a collaborative effort that strives to provide local children and their families with support they need to function as a strong and healthy family unit. Our vision is that all families will have what they need to reach their full potential and contribute to their community. We are community based and seek to meet the changing needs of families and children as they arise, as well as to build upon the strengths that are already present within the community. During the years the family center has been open, it has become a hub of activity and has been proven to be an effective way to offer services and programming tailored to the community. We also function as the community food shelf in conjunction with the food shelves nationwide.
What it reported doing in 2024
The pine river area food shelf distributed 123,495 pounds of food to 405 unduplicated households and 2,612 duplicated households. Our family support specialist served 13 families during 304 visits in our community.

Family support staff served 1,800 neighbors by providing assistance with salvation army vouchers, mnsure navigator, faxing, printing, forms, and resource connection. 11 families benefited from the parent child plus program that encouraged healthy development in children and prepared them for school. 16,270 meals were provided through the community meals program. Christmas for kids provided 217 children with a merry christmas. The family center mentored an intern from the rural Minnesota cep program who worked 567.75 hours.

The center also provides facilities for child and teen checkups, women infant children, and family planning clinics.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
