History

The Family Life Center of New Braunfels is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has been serving the New Braunfels community since 2008. Annually, we assist over 8,000 people with essential services. Our primary purpose has always been to support members of our community that may find themselves in a crisis situation where they are temporarily under-resourced, many times due to situations beyond their control.

We work together to maximize the use of our community’s limited resources and will continue participating in collaborative capacity-building activities with the Family Life Center for many years to come. The Family Life Center is very effective in helping at risk families to reach financial independence.

Working Together

The Family Life Center is widely recognized by the community as a source of hope for those in crisis. We work hand-in-hand with numerous agencies, churches, and organizations to meet the needs of the under-resourced in our community. Collaborating with other organizations is essential to accomplishing the common goal of assisting people in crisis. The best way to serve our community is by working together.

The Family Life Center has a long-standing history of collaborating with other agencies in the community to provide a comprehensive range of services that address the needs of the most vulnerable. They leverage resources and expertise to create a more significant impact on various issues related to family well-being.

Serving Our Growing Community

As our community continues to grow, so does the need of assistance for people in crisis. Our goal is to provide hope to every family that finds themselves in what they feel is a hopeless situation. We provide assistance and give them a success plan to move them toward self-sufficiency, while still maintaining their self-respect.

Family Life Center is an essential partner of the New Braunfels Food Bank and other nonprofit agencies for which they provide case management services and financial assistance to families within New Braunfels and Comal County.
