The Family Resource Center is a ministry of Northfield Baptist Church, following the guidelines set by the Akron Food Bank. It exists to provide food and household products to those who are in need.

When You Come
The Family Resource Center is located in the Ministry Center, next to Northfield Baptist Church. We ask clients of the FRC to enter the building during the designated service times, register their attendance at the registration window, and then pick up the distributed items of their choice.
If you are a new client, a FRC member will go through the paperwork process with you, collecting the needed information. Once you are in their system, you will be able to return twice a month.
