Who we are

Now known as, The Preston & Area Family Resource Centre, it is so more than just a building or a place—it’s a welcoming space where families, caregivers, and community members come together to grow, heal, and thrive. Whether you’re here to access support, join a program, or simply connect with others, you’ll find a sense of belonging and care that reflects the heart of our community. Our doors are open to all, and we’re honored to be part of your journey.

Our programs are designed to meet the diverse needs of the families we serve. We offer services that span the full spectrum of life—from prenatal education and early childhood development, to parenting support, youth engagement, and elder wellness.

Each program is created with cultural responsiveness in mind, ensuring it reflects the lived experiences, histories, and strengths of our African Nova Scotian community.

We also provide community meals, health and wellness workshops, mental health supports, and opportunities for skill-building and leadership. Whether you’re seeking support, connection, or inspiration, there’s something here for you and your family.

At the Family Resource Centre in East Preston, we believe that strong families are the foundation of strong communities and rooted in the belief that when we invest in people, we uplift generations.
