How do I sign up for services?
The CBFRC flyers indicate if a service requires registration, just to be sure, call the Center you are interested in participating at before attending.

Does the CBFRC provide financial assistance?
The Centers will refer families with financial needs to the nearest and most appropriate social service agency that will best meet their needs.

How long are CBFRC classes?
Each class is unique. Some are 45 minutes, one hour, or for the day. Some classes run in a series of five while others may just be a one time event. Please check the calendars or call the Center before attending.

Are there eligibility requirements before receiving services?
There are no eligibility requirements, but it is important that we track who receives services. Participants are asked to become a member and basic information is gathered. A membership card is issued for signing in at each visit.
