Cappalappa Family Resource Center (CFRC) held an Open House on Friday, inviting the community into its new facility at 183 N. Moapa Valley Blvd. for tours of the building and discussions on what the CFRC can do.

The new building is about twice the size as the previous CFRC office on Jones Street. This is allowing the staff to spread out and utilize each area for specific uses.

CFRC staff has been working diligently to get the food pantry set up and organized. The new space has plenty of shelving, and lots of storage area for food. There is also a used clothing area, where people can shop for much needed clothing for just the cost of a donation.

There is also a large area for the Preschool classes, which can accommodate several children and parents. Adjacent to the preschool area is an area for people to study for their GED exams, complete with computer access.

Twice a year, the CFRC holds a yard sale with donated items to help raise money for operating costs. Due to the plentiful space at this new location, the yard sales will be held right on the property.

In addition to the programs run by the CFRC, the center also offers assistance with other programs, such as Welfare, WIC, NV Check-Up, and more.

Many local residents stopped in on Friday for a tour of the new building, including County Commissioner Tom Collins, who has voiced support for the CFRC.

For more information about the programs offered at the CFRC, go to www.mvcfrc.org, or call 702-397-6400.
