Family & community resource center

Providing culturally responsive support that honors the dignity and strength of Idaho’s community.

The Idaho HIspanic Foundation helps:
80 Kids/month and 170 families/month

In Idaho, 41% of households—including half of all Hispanic households—live below the ALICE Threshold, facing impossible daily decisions no one should have to make: food or medicine, rent or transportation.

The Idaho Hispanic Foundation’s Family and Community Resource Center (FCRC) was created to fill that gap, offering free, culturally responsive support that honors the dignity and strength of Idaho’s community.
