St. John's Community Foundation Grant Recipient Stories: Family Centers, Inc.
For more than 130 years, The Family Centers, Inc has helped “empower children, adults, families and communities to realize their potential.” 

Through its comprehensive network of 26 programs and services, the agency serves more than 20,000 residents annually. Programs are delivered within more than 60 service delivery sites, including licensed facilities located throughout Stamford, Greenwich and Darien. 

Approximately 67% of the agency's services benefit Stamford residents directly. 

St. John’s Episcopal Church, through the St. John’s Community Foundation, awarded The Family Centers a $3,500 grant in 2021. 

This money went directly to support The Den for Grieving Kids, a bereavement resource established in 1993, to offer families dealing with loss a safe and supportive place to process feelings of grief, learn coping strategies, gain support from the community and begin their journey to healing.
